A DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: Today is the Feast Day of St Thomas: Although it is Advent, the Church recalls this disciple of Jesus. We often think of him as "doubting Thomas," but he was also one who boldly proclaimed Christ to the world. See the accounts in John 11:5-16, 14:1-7, and 20:19-20. This date is the traditional date of his death in India. May we be bold in our witness to the Christ Child who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, our Lord and our God.
