Seeing and believing

Today's Gospel (John 20:1a, 2-8) says that when the beloved disciple went inside Christ's tomb "he saw and believed."

Faith is a gift from God, which enables us to look upon the world and see the deep meaning and eternal reality that underlies all things.

Amid the confusion, suffering, and injustices around us, may God give us more of this grace and increase our faith, so that we too may see clearly, believe firmly, accomplish lovingly, and speak boldly in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
