What does it mean to believe in the resurrection? In today’s gospel Thomas is struggling to believe. Our Lord however is very patient with him; he gives Thomas two chances. Either to believe without seeing or to believe because he has seen. Thomas, who was absent during the disciples’ first encounter with the risen Christ does not believe their witness, he wants evidence. The risen Lord obliges and a week later when he appears again offers Thomas his wounds to touch. Thomas instead of touching the Lord pronounc-es a profound profession of faith, perhaps the greatest Christological expression —“My Lord and my God!” Like Thomas, many struggle with belief and too often we want tangible evidence. We just don’t realize that the tangible evidence of the risen Lord is all around us. The other readings for today give us an abundance of clues: we encounter the risen Lord in the breaking of the bread, in the mercy, everlasting love and help of God, in the community living its belief in the risen Christ and carrying on his mis-sion. Thomas was first challenged to believe without tangible evidence; we have the evidence in the good works of each other. For us is not seeing that leads to believe; it is believing that leads to seeing. Then like Thomas we can look and see and profess —“My Lord and my God!”

¿Qué significa creer en la resurrección? En el evangelio de hoy Tomás está luchando para creer. Sin embargo Nuestro Señor es muy paciente con él, le da dos oportunidades a Tomás. O creer sin ver o creer, porque ha visto. Tomás, quien estuvo ausente durante el primer encuentro de los discípulos con el Cristo resucitado no cree en el testimonio de los otros, él quiere evidencia. El Señor resucitado obliga y una semana más tarde, cuando se aparece de nuevo ofrece sus heridas a Tomás para que las toque. Tomás en vez de tocar al Señor pronuncia una profunda profesión de fe, tal vez la mayor expresión cristológica —“¡Señor mío y Dios mío!" Al igual que Tomás, muchos luchan para creer y con demasiada frecuencia queremos pruebas palpables. Simplemente no nos damos cuenta de que la evidencia palpable de que el Señor resucitado está a nuestro alrededor. Las otras lecturas de hoy nos dan una gran can-tidad de claves: nos encontramos con el Señor resucitado al partir el pan, en la misericordia, el amor eterno y la ayuda de Dios, en la co-munidad que vive su fe en Cristo resucitado y en el ejercicio de su misión . Tomás fue desafiado primero a creer sin evidencia, nosotros tene-mos la evidencia de las buenas obras de los demás. Para nosotros no es ver que nos lleva a creer, es creer lo que nos lleva a ver. Y así como Tomás, podemos mirar y ver y profesar —“"¡Señor mío y Dios mío!"

April 23, 2017 Second Sunday of Easter

Jesus meets the need of each disciple. To the fearful in the upper room, he speaks words of peace. To doubting Thomas, he pro-vides the tangible proof of his resurrection. What do I need to become his disciple? What do I have to share that might meet someone else’s need?

23 de abril del 2017 Segundo Domingo de la Pascua

Jesús satisface las necesidades de cada discípulo. Al que está con miedo en el cuarto de arriba, él le dice palabras de paz. El le da la prueba tangible de su resurrección a Tomás el incrédulo. ¿Qué necesito yo para ser su dis-cípulo? ¿Qué tengo yo para com-partir que podría satisfacer las necesidades de otro?

STEWARDSHIP BY THE BIBLE — CORRESPONSABILIDAD DE ACUERDO A LA BIBLIA

Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, , "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe." Tomás, uno de los Doce, a quien llamaban el Gemelo, no estaba con ellos cuando vino Jesús, y los otros discípulos le decían: "Hemos visto al Señor". Pero él les contestó: "Si no veo en sus manos la señal de los clavos y si no meto mi dedo en los agujeros de los clavos y no meto mi mano en su costado, no creeré".
