Put your finger here and see my hands.
These words of Jesus express God's mercy towards sinners and his willingness to heal us. Such a compassion for the doubting Thomas reminds us that the Lord does not expect us to be “perfect Christians” but faithful.
Jesus wants us “to seek him, to call on him, or even, like Thomas, to protest, bringing him our needs and our unbelief, our personal or family wounds.
Our challenge is to recognize the presence of risen Christ in our midst in spite of our doubts and hesitations.
In those moments of difficulties and darkness, Jesus comes back with love and knocks at the door of our hearts. Jesus does not give up on us when we find ourselves in moments of crisis and doubts. He takes us through his light of faith.
"My Savior and my Lord!"
