The Lord Is My Chef Daily Recipe for the Soul by Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II Monday, Feast of St. Thomas, Apostle, 03 July 2023 Ephesians 2:19-22 <*((((>< +++ ><))))*> John 20:24-29
Praise and glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ, for always believing in us, coming to us, calling us to follow you despite our doubts and weaknesses like St. Thomas the Apostle.
Most of all, thank you dear Lord Jesus for blessing us who have not seen you and yet believed in you!
Jesus said to him (Thomas), “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
John 20:29
Let me follow you, Jesus, for you are "the Way, the Truth and the Life" as you have told St. Thomas at your Last Supper; like St. Thomas, comfort me with your presence and understanding in times of insecurities when pains and disappointments make me doubt; like St. Thomas, give me the courage to conquer my many doubts in life and lead them to outcomes brighter than any uncertainties I often fear needlessly; like St. Thomas, let me persevere despite the difficulties of deepening my faith in you by keeping me close to you, "my Lord and my God". Amen.
