DOUBT
As today's readings indicate, St Thomas was referred to as "doubting Thomas", because he would not believe Christ had risen until he saw with his own eyes.
Most people can accept the mystery of faith as handed down. But others like St Thomas question. They must have answers for everything that will leave them in no doubt and then their acceptance is wholehearted.
So what is wrong with doubt? There is nothing wrong with doubt. Is it not better to have any doubts cleared from your minds and believe rather than never question and choose not to believe.
