SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 2nd Sunday of Easter
DESCRIPTION:BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN\, \nAND YET BELIEVE \nFrom a commentary by St Cyril of Alexandria1 \n◊◊◊ \nThomas’s profession of faith came swiftly when\, eight days after he had \ndeclared his unwillingness to believe\, Christ showed him his side and the nail \nmarks in his hands and removed every possible doubt. \nOur Lord Jesus Christ had miraculously entered the room when the doors \nwere closed. As this would have been impossible for an ordinary earthly body \nhe reassured Thomas\, and through him\, the other disciples\, by letting him see \nhis side and the wounds in his flesh. \nOnly Thomas is reported to have said: Unless my hands touch the marks \nof the nails and I see them\, and unless I put my hand into his side\, I will not \nbelieve\, yet to some extent all the disciples were guilty of disbelief. Doubt \nremained in their minds even after they had told Thomas that they had seen the \nLord. St. Luke’s account says that while they were amazed\, torn between joy \nand disbelief\, Christ said to them\, “Have you anything to eat?” They gave him \na piece of broiled fish and part of a honeycomb\, which he took and ate before \ntheir eyes. This surely proves that it was not only in the mind of blessed Thomas \nthat disbelieving thoughts still lurked\, but in the minds of the other disciples as \nwell. It was their very astonishment that made them slow to believe\, but when \nit became impossible to disbelieve what they could see with their own eyes\, \nblessed Thomas made his profession of faith: My Lord and My God. \nJesus said to him: ‘Because you have seen me\, Thomas\, you have \nbelieved. Blessed are those who have not seen\, and yet believe.” There was a \nwonderful providence behind these words of the Savior\, and they can be of very \ngreat help to us. They show once again how much he cares for our souls\, for he \nis good and as Scripture says: He wants everyone to be saved and to come to \nknowledge of the truth. Even so\, this saying of his may surprise us. \nAs always\, Christ had to be patient with Thomas when he said he would \nnot believe\, and with the other disciples too when they thought they were seeing \na ghost. Because of his desire to convince the whole world\, he most willingly \nshowed them the marks of the nails and the wound in his side\, because he \nwished those who needed such signs as a support for their faith to have no \npossible reason to doubt\, he even took food although he had no need for it. \nBut when anyone accepts what he has not seen\, believing on the word of \nhis teacher\, the faith by which he honors the one his teacher proclaims to him \nis worthy of great praise. Blessed\, therefore\, is everyone who believes the \nmessage of the holy apostles who\, as Luke says\, were eyewitnesses to Christ’s \nactions and ministers of the word. If we desire eternal life and long for a \ndwelling place in heaven\, we must listen to them. \n  \n1 Journey with the Fathers – Year B – New City Press – NY -1994 – pg. 51.3 \n  \n  \n
