    Doubting Thomas.
    I think Thomas must have had some serious setbacks in his life, some wounds that shattered his hopes and affected his faith. People quite often identify with someone who have had similar wounds in life as they have had. So Thomas was identifying with the Jesus of the Cross as he found this easier. Even people of faith find It very hard to move on sometimes to the Risen Christ – as Thomas did with his exclamation “ My Lord and My God”. They have to personally touch the wounded God in their life.

I try not to repeat these daily Lenten posts year to year but there are times when the same scriptures pop up annually and I realise that I can’t write it better than I did last year. Today is one such day, not only because of the thought I share but even more in the comments that are added by FFF readers. Today I have left some of last year’s comments helping us to appreciate the power of today’s readings.

The heart of the home in years past was the hearth.
It was at the hearth that the family gathered for the warmth and light of the flame and the food that was prepared there.
The fire was treated with respect since the same flame which provided energy for the home could just as easily destroy it.

I’m not sure if children today are told the great story of the Emperor’s New Clothes, but if not let’s make sure that the parable is taught at all schools of higher learning.

A few years ago I discovered the wonderful way that God uses my imagination in my prayer.
Such openness to imagination when seeking God does not take us away from reality into fantasy but instead brings me into what is most real and inescapably personal and intimate.
