Thomas, who doubted when the other apostles told him they has seen the Lord gives us the words we say at every Mass ‘My Lord and my God’
Jesus did not dismiss Thomas, but invited him to know – inviting him to touch the wounds of the crucifixion, yet Jesus adds ‘Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed’
On Sunday, April 27 two leaders of our faith have been named saints. John the XXIII and John Paul II.
They had not seen, yet believed.

The founder of Mission Doctors, Msgr. Brouwers met with Pope John XXIII when he was preparing to create two programs that were the first in the US to make it possible for lay Catholics to serve as lay missionaries.
He had not seen, yet believed.
Both of these Saints and Msgr. Brouwers called all lay people to be an active part of the mission of the Church and helped expand our understanding - that by our baptism we are all missionaries. Today, responding to this understanding and the calf of their faith, Mission Doctors leave the comforts of home to care for patients in underserved areas of the world.
They had not seen, yet believed.
On this Sunday, Divine Mercy Sunday, as we respond with the words of St. Thomas, “My Lord and my God” may we believe and may we know that our faith connects us with all our sisters and brothers around the world.
Saint John the XXII, pray for us
Saint John Paul II, pray for us
