Doubting Thomas

Thomas had faith but there in him was much debate Reach hither thy finger and reach thy hand hither I will not believe unless I see with my eyes and feel I need to know its real then my faith, have no debate Jesus came stood and said peace be unto you Thrust your finger in my side behold my nailed hands My lord my God I see I believe my faith has no debate No more wondering no more pondering forever more We will never see God in reality faith must have debate Jesus said ‘be not faithless, but believing’ Still we doubt and wonder and blunder through life blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed.

Well done, Niall. A lovely poem. We are under the unfortunate illusion that we don't have time for faith in our life... Lucky for us as we get older, we find the time.

Anymore, I don't know if even the holes in the sides and hands would've been convincing to those seeing just what they want to see and dismissing the rest as a set-up or conspiracy. This is a good and timely point, especially this week. : )

Hi Amy . yes this week inspired me after listening to the parish priest talk about Thomas and it being okay having doubts and that faith can rise and fall in us::)))) Hugs~~~~Niall

A nice write, Niall ... However, Socratic questions do help our thought system ...
