Today we consider the example of Simeon, who faithfully awaited Christ’s coming in his old age. He is an excellent example for all elderly people, reminding all of us that we can “depart in peace” because the Messiah has come to give us everlasting life. We pray with Simeon:

“Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace,
according to Your word;
for my eyes have seen Your salvation
that You have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and for glory to Your people Israel” (Luke 2:29–32). Amen.

Saint Thomas the Apostle is best known for doubting the Resurrection of Jesus, when he said, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe” (John 20:25).

As we honor this great Apostle of the Lord, ponder the zeal he must have had to leave his home, family, and community, and travel to the far regions of India where he spent the rest of his life sharing the Gospel, baptizing, and establishing the Church. He died a martyr, which is fitting for such a courageous man. Though he struggled with doubts at first, his doubts were transformed by Christ. Filled with the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, Thomas never looked back. As you ponder his life, reflect on any ways you can learn from him and imitate him. If you struggle with doubts, know that the Holy Spirit can transform those doubts and fill you with the same depth of zeal and commitment as Saint Thomas.

He is the Patron Saint of doubters, architects, blind people, builders, geometricians, masons, surveyors, and theologians.

“We can be Christians today in only two ways, through prayer and in doing justice among human beings.”

80 years ago today, German Lutheran pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer was executed at the Flossenbürg concentration camp by N***s.

As a pastor, theologian, and dissident, Bonhoeffer exemplified the courage to live his faith through times of darkness. His witness reminds us that faith is bound to good works (AC VI). It is both contemplation and struggle against injustice.

Rom.8:19 Want die skepping wag met reikhalsende verlange op die openbaarmaking van die kinders van God.
Rom 8:20 Want die skepping is aan die nietigheid onderworpe nie gewillig nie, maar ter wille van hom wat dit onderwerp het.
