Él puede transformar nuestra duda y nuestra desilusión en convicción, nuestro miedo en valentía y fe. Santo Tomas es un ejemplo para nosotros aquí. Es famoso por sus dudas, pero su historia no termina ahí. Después de su experiencia de Jesús resucitado, la tradición nos dice que llegó a predicar el Evangelio en la India.

Tomás fue martirizado por su testi- monio de la buena noticia de la resurrección de Jesús. Con Jesús se rom- pieron a través de una fuerte puerta cerrada herméticamente la duda de Tomas y lo llenó con la fe que le permitió eventualmente dar su vida por Jesús. Pedimos que Jesús nos transforme a través de su amor misericordioso siempre y cuando estemos dispuestos a confiar en él. No importa nuestro nivel de fe o de duda, confianza, o miedo, el mismo Jesús se da a cada uno de nosotros. Nos abre las puertas de nuestro corazón para que aceptemos la oferta de paz y el don de su Espíritu Santo. Cuando nuestras vidas cambien debido a ello, cuando se disipen los miedos y las dudas, entonces sabremos lo que significa que Jesús está vivo.
