 St Paul who came to our attention as a persecutor of the Apostles' Good News had by seeing, on the road to Damascus,  the risen  Jesus amidst the Glory of the Lord come to an understanding of the meaning of the scriptures which he had previously studied. The Light first seen on the road to Damascus  had penetrated his being and he was totally committed to the mission he had there received.. He was able to follow the Roman roads and seaways to preach to the heart of the Roman Empire; "brining the Good News to the whole world". Today the preaching of the Good News can cover the whole of the digital world in seconds; in the synagogues the congregations couldn't avoid it  but turning to a more attractive website can be done in the twinkling of an eye .

Dear Jesus  help us who are continually distracted by the wonders of the electronic media know that you calling to our hearts is the Holy Spirit, is the only voice we need in this life to make ready for what The Father has prepared for us.

Thomas is again ready to bring a more brutal realism into the discourse of the Lord. He who worshipped "Lord and God" is still able to question in a direct challenge a mysterious saying of Jesus. Our Lord welcomes what another speaker could have found to be an interruption and expands the Good News into "Way Truth and Life the trinity that defines our 2nd person of the Trinity. Thanks be to God. 

Dear Lord let my ears be open to your words my eyes to your creation and my soul to the messages of the Holy Spirit. Let me be with you always even to the end of my life in this world and may the supplications of our Mother, Mary, help me to come to my place with the heavenly Father..
