"Jesus came and stood in their midst, although the doors were locked and said, 'Peace be with you. ' Then he said to Thomas, 'Put your fingers here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it in my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.' Thomas answered and said to him, 'My Lord and my God!' Jesus said to him, 'Have you come to believe because you saw me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.' " Although our doors are locked you come to us in your humble state and show us how to love you.... you are a beggar for our love that is knocking at the door asking us to give that beggar a cup of water or some clothing to cover their nakedness or some food to fill their hunger. May your Word become the food that nourishes us as we go forth filled with your eternal food and drink that we are given in the Eucharist! May we be like St Paul, who never walked with you on this earth... yet KNOW you as not many are willing or able to know you! And I pray for the souls of my sister, Mary, and the tiny child, Thomas, who was 4 months in my womb and I lost at this time.... May they be in heaven with you.... helping me on this journey as I embrace the cross that these two losses meant to me. Jesus I trust in you! And I will lift up all you wonderful "prayer warriors" in the next hour as I am gifted with an hour of adoration to make this day as wonderful as it can be - here in the supreme beauty that nature has to offer on the Big Lake! Amen and Halleluia! Bless-bless, Barb
