Octave of Easter, Thomas Sunday

Thomas was so dejected that he went off to be alone, and was so crushed that he thought any hope of good things to come was a pipe dream, an idle tale, and he would not believe; until Jesus appeared to him and, as if to say I was there with you in your despair, bids him to inspect him. And Thomas repents of the folly of saying in his heart that there is no God. And takes seriously  the admonition to preach, to gladden hearts who have not seen and believe. So today this word comes to you. Sermon  for Quasimodo Geniti. The video is here.
