John Kavanaugh, SJ
God’s love for us, even in our sinful state, is there for the asking if we only believe. We must accept the lavish gift we have not earned.
John J. Pilch
Would Thomas be offended to know that the evangelist created a story featuring him as a “doubter”?
We can be sure that the miracles he wrought while he lived among us
were meant to encourage us to accept gifts from him that should
never pass away nor have an end.
Dennis
Hamm, SJ
All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their property and possessions and divide them among all according to each one’s need
Reginald H. Fuller
John the Seer sees the risen Christ and receives the messages for the seven churches. Some have held that this vision was a continuation of the post-resurrection appearances.
