What I’ve
Learned From You
2 Easter 2010
April 11, 2010
Father Jim Trainor
How do
we learn about God? We learn about him from direct experience of him,
through experiencing the Sacraments, through the indwelling in us of
his Holy Spirit. We learn about God from Scripture, in his self
revealing of who he is. And we learn about God from other people,
seeing their example – sometimes positive and sometimes a negative
example.
Today we
can learn about God from Thomas, and I want to spend just a minute or
so talking about him. You know, Thomas gets a bum rap, all this
‘doubting Thomas’ nonsense. Thomas was a rational and discerning man,
unafraid to ask the questions others were reluctant to ask. When
someone tells you they’ve seen someone come back from the dead, it is
a sign of intelligence to ask questions and need some more evidence.
Thomas thought for himself and was not going what could be hysteria
control him.
