Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe

Divine mercy Sunday provided me with a lot of food for thought.

This was the day that both Pope John Paul II and Pope John XXIII were canonized. Part of the road to canonization required 2 miracles to be attributed to the popes. I think that God allows these to be revealed for the common good of mankind.

Being divine mercy Sunday, Father mentioned the difference between doubting and hoping in the divine mercy of Christ.

When Christ said,"You believe because you have seen, happy are those who have not seen but yet believe", He was differentiating the doubters from the believers. Are we doubters or believers?

I sometimes fall into the band of doubters, not sure if this is due to my need to see to believe or a lack of fervent faith in God's divine mercy. It seems to be both, with my human faculties taking control.

I pray that God will help me stay a believer, if it means little injections of revealing His miracles in my life, but only for the common good.
