SAINT OF THE WEEK Saint Thomas the Apostle’s Story
Poor Thomas! He made one remark and has been branded as “Doubting Thomas” ever since. But if he doubted, he also believed. He made what is certainly
the most explicit statement of faith in the New Testament: “My Lord and My God!” and, in so
expressing his faith, gave Christians a prayer that will be said till the end of time. He also occasioned a compliment from Jesus to all later Christians: “Have
you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have
believed” (John 20:29). Thomas should be equally well-known for his
courage. Perhaps what he said was impetuous—since he ran, like the rest, at the showdown—but he can scarcely have been insincere when he expressed his willingness to die with Jesus. The occasion was
when Jesus proposed to go to Bethany after Lazarus had died. Since Bethany was near Jerusalem, this meant walking into the very midst of his enemies
and to almost certain death. Realizing this, Thomas said to the other apostles, “Let us also go to die with
him” (John 11:16b).
REFLECTION Thomas shares the lot of Peter the impetuous, James
and John, the “sons of thunder,” Philip and his foolish request to see the Father—indeed all the
apostles in their weakness and lack of understanding. We must not exaggerate these facts, however, for Christ did not pick worthless men. But their human weakness again points up the fact that holiness is a gift of God, not a human creation; it is
given to ordinary men and women with weaknesses; it is God who gradually transforms the weaknesses into the image of Christ, the courageous, trusting,
and loving one.
PRAYER OF THE WEEK
Prayer for Personal Forgiveness Lord Jesus, I am sorry for my sins, I renounce Satan
and all his works, And I give you my life. I accept you whom I've just received in communion. I now
receive and accept you as my personal Lord and my personal Savior, and as we just prayed, fill us with
Your Holy Spirit. Amen.
SUNDAY SOUNDBITE St. Mark’s Gospel, which we’re reading this year, is
known for its rich detail in describing Jesus’ healing miracles. Today we have two stories which are
provocative as well. They teach us how we relate to Christ in our own lives.
In the Gospel, Jesus responds to a synagogue official with a sick daughter, and to a woman suffering from a hemorrhage. In both situations, Christ must deal with very human emotions and complications. The
household of the synagogue official is demonstrative in its grieving over the girl’s death. They even
ridicule Jesus for his persistence in offering faith. The woman with the hemorrhage has her own long experience with frustration and failure; she fears to
approach Jesus directly. In both circumstances, Christ confronts the
obstacles and breaks through with healing power. That’s what his whole mission is meant to bring: a radical transformation which overcomes sin,
disease, even death. Let’s allow the Lord to break into our lives!

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION
Matthew 7: 20
By their fruits you will know them.
"Nowhere does Christ condemn the possession
of earthly goods as such.
Instead, He pronounces very harsh words
against those who use their possessions
in a selfish way, without paying attention
to the needs of others."
~ St Pope John Paull II
SAVE THE DATE

FEATURED MINISTRY Ushers
This is a ministry of hospitality. The usher is the first face of Christ to greet God’s people as they
assemble for worship and prayer. The greeting of “good morning” helps the usher to discreetly discern
how to welcome and what help to offer. Ushers serve in a Christ-like manner by being prayerful, patient, helpful and understanding.
Ushers radiate the joy that faith brings, as they serve the needs of others.
