Sunday 27 April

2nd Sunday of Easter

Acts 2:42-47, Ps 118, 1 Peter 1:3-9, John 20:19-31

When seeing is believing

We believe that Jesus rose from the dead not because we have seen evidence but because we have faith. Thomas was unable to join the disciples in their celebration of the resurrection because he needed to see the evidence that Jesus was risen. “Unless I see the holes that the nails made in his hands, I refuse to believe,” Thomas declared. And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe”. May this Easter season be a special time of celebration of our gift of faith.
