Today, we relive the first appearances before the Apostles of Jesus Christ resurrected. After having been so frightened, now they find it hard to believe that Jesus is alive. He is in front of them and… Thomas apostle, who was not there the first time, is even more radical: and he will not believe unless he sees and “touches” Jesus.

Christ will admonish him for not having believed his companions. There are persons who only accept as factual what they can touch. But almost whatever we learn is because we have been told so, normally without any additional evidence. "Faith" is to believe what we are told, because we confide in who is talking to us and because his message is reasonable. To distrust the word of others (including God) is inhuman. Without trust the world does not work.

—Thank you, my God, for the gift of faith. It is my greatest treasure because thus, I can treat you as a son treats his Father. I am happy knowing you so familiarly.
