Today I strolled the village of Ein Karem, near Jerusalem, and tried to take a shot of the church of St. john the baptist whom according to the new testament was born there. However, the view of the bell tower of the church was obstructed by an ugly power line which seemed from my POV to supply this place of worship with electricity. An then I thought: Church= Jesus= to believe. Electricity=power.
"Why celebrate Jesus’ Resurrection so extensively? Because we’re so slow to realize what it means, and need reminding over and over.
That’s why Thomas, the apostle, whom we remember on the 2nd Sunday of Easter, is such an important figure. Far from being a lonely skeptic, an isolated dissenter, he represents the slowness of heart and mind, the recurrent skepticism, that affects us all.
His story, rather than raising doubts, is a reminder that the Risen Jesus offers, even to the most unconvinced, THE POWER TO BELIEVE".
