Thomas figures large in the Easter Octave gospel selection. He may be less of a doubter than his inherited moniker suggests. We may be more his twin siblings than we may admit. Thinking Faith drew from its archives a reflection Jesuit Harry Elias wrote when he worked with detained immigrants.
Faith needs to be mediated through the senses, it can be aroused and encouraged by what is seen, touched and heard; but it cannot be reduced to sensory experience. …Central to Thomas’s and our faith in the resurrection is not so much that there is life after death in a risen body, but that Jesus is vindicated as Lord and God.
