Due Diligence Thomas! Who among us would not have wanted to see Jesus in person after hearing that all the other disciples got to see him. The real questions are around what we do when seeing Jesus in person isn’t possible. How can we stay curious and faithful?
God of Resurrection, what a gift Thomas received when You showed yourself to him. Help us to see the gifts of Your presence among us. In Jesus name, Amen.

Loving God, in a world where proof is everything and faith often seems foolish, give us courage to proclaim what the Spirit has revealed to us.
We cannot doubt that the effects of our abuse and neglect of our planet are made plain. Help us to be part of the solution in preserving our home.
Give our leaders faith in the people they serve, that they would listen carefully to the needs of their constituents and craft policies that see to the flourishing of all people.

With Thomas, Mary, the other disciples, and all the witnesses of the resurrection we join in thanksgiving, united in your love and held forever in the power of your eternal life.
Hear all our prayers, spoken and unspoken, and gather them into your loving arms, for the sake of our risen savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
