Today, we celebrate Christ as our leader in the work of salvation. The gospel presents Christ as the Good Shepherd.  If we heed his voice and follow him wherever he takes us, we will be safe and sound, and well fed in everlasting life.

My friends, the life of faith begins with recognizing Jesus and his many presences in our Church and world.

The patron saint for doubters is featured in today’s gospel. At first, Thomas stubbornly insisted on seeing and touching the nail marks in Jesus’ hands and the spear marks in his side before letting go of his doubts that Jesus had risen from the dead. 

Love is stronger than death.  This line is from the Canticle of Solomon in the Bible, and I think it says it all on this Solemnity of Christ’s Resurrection. This is the good news we celebrate at the empty tomb of Jesus this Easter Sunday.

There is so much more in the biblical account of the Passion of Jesus Christ than a sad tale.
