As If Faith Were a Slam DunkAcross the centuries, the disciple Thomas’s skeptical response to fellow disciples had earned him the label “Doubting Thomas.” This is often used in a pejorative sense, as if believers in the raising of a dead man is a slam dunk for the other disciples. From our perch in the twenty-first century, we may look down our noses at twenty-first Jewish people, thinking that somehow faith in God and in the Risen Lord should have been straightforward for them. On some level, we may belittle their achievements; they were uneducated fishermen, and we are smart and well educated; they were not really capable of abstract thinking, and we are; they were locked in the world of sheep and goats, and we can use words like “thermodynamics” or “exponential” or “disruption.”
Across the centuries, Thomas is a witness to the real struggle of genuine faith. He asks basic questions; he is curious about what his fellow disciples saw and heard. His faith has to make sense, to be intelligible. More than any other species, human beings pursue understanding by posing questions and evaluating evidence. We can’t help but try to make sense of our lives and what they mean. No less wonderful than Thomas’s expression of skepticism is his humble, heartfelt confession of faith: “My Lord and my God.”
This orientation – understanding that seeks faith – so deeply embedded in the human community, is but one amazing expression of Divine Mercy.

Como Si la Fe Fuera un MateA lo largo de los siglos, la respuesta escéptica del discípulo Tomás a sus compañeros discípulos le había valido la etiqueta de "Tomás incrédulo." Esto se usa a menudo en un sentido peyorativo, como si los creyentes en la resurrección de un muerto fuera un golpe para los otros discípulos. Desde nuestra posición en el siglo XXI, podemos mirar con desprecio al pueblo judío del XXI, pensando que de alguna manera la fe en Dios y en el Señor Resucitado debería haber sido sencillo para ellos. En algún nivel, podemos menospreciar sus logros; eran pescadores sin educación, y nosotros somos inteligentes y estamos bien educados; no eran realmente capaces de pensar en abstracto, y nosotros lo somos; estaban encerrados en el mundo de las ovejas y las cabras, y podemos usar palabras como "termodinámica" o "exponencial" o "disrupción."
A lo largo de los siglos, Tomás es testigo de la verdadera lucha de la fe genuina. Hace preguntas básicas; siente curiosidad por lo que vieron y oyeron sus compañeros discípulos. Su fe debe tener sentido, ser inteligible. Más que cualquier otra especie, los seres humanos buscan la comprensión planteando preguntas y evaluando pruebas. No podemos evitar tratar de darle sentido a nuestras vidas y lo que significan. No menos maravillosa que la expresión de escepticismo de Thomas es su humilde y sincera confesión de fe: "Señor mío y Dios mío."
Esta orientación, comprensión que busca la fe, tan profundamente arraigada en la comunidad humana, no es más que una expresión asombrosa de la Divina Misericordia.
