SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 2nd Sun Easter
DESCRIPTION:BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN\, YET BELIEVE \nFrom the writings of Fr. Romano Guardini1 ◊◊◊ \nAnd Jesus said to Thomas\, “You have learned to believe\, Thomas\, because you have seen me. Blessed are those who have not seen\, and yet have learned to believe!” Such words as these are really extraordinary! Thomas believed because he saw. But Our Lord did not call him blessed. He had been allowed to “see\,” to see the hands and the side\, and to touch the blessed wounds\, yet he was not blessed! \nPerhaps Thomas had a narrow escape from a great danger. He wanted proofs\, wanted to see and touch; but then\, too\, it might have been rebellion deep within him\, the vainglory of an intelligence that would not surrender\, a sluggishness and coldness of heart. He got what he asked for: a look and a touch. But it must have been a concession he deplored having received\, when he thought on it afterwards. He could have believed and been saved\, not because he got what he demanded; he could have believed because God’s mercy had touched his heart and given him the grace of interior vision\, the gift of the opening of the heart\, and of its surrender. \nGod could also have let him stay with the words he had spoken: in that state of unbelief which cuts itself off from everything\, that insists on human evidence to become convinced. In that case he would have remained an unbeliever and gone on his way. In that state\, external seeing and touching would not have helped him at all\, he simply would have called it delusion. Nothing that comes from God\, even the greatest miracle\, proves out like 2 x 2. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt touches one; it is only seen and grasped when the heart is open and the spirit is purged of self. Then it awakens faith… \nThomas was standing a hair’s breadth away from obduracy and perdition. He was not at all blessed. \nBlessed indeed are “those who have not seen\, and yet have learned to believe!” Those who ask for no miracles\, demand nothing out of the ordinary\, but who find God’s message in everyday life. Those who require no compelling proofs\, but who know that everything coming from God must remain in a certain ultimate suspense\, so that faith may never cease to require daring. Those who know that the heart is not overcome by faith\, that there is no force or violence there\, compelling belief by rigid certitudes. What comes from God touches gently\, comes quietly; does not disturb freedom; leads to quiet\, profound\, peaceful resolve within the heart. And those are called blessed who make the effort to remain openhearted. Who seek to cleanse their hearts of all self-righteousness\, obstinacy\, presumption\, inclination to “know better.” Who are quick to heart\, humble\, free-spirited… Blessed are those who can see the Lord in all these things \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n1 Jesus Christus\, Chicago 1959\, 101-104. \n\n\n
