Ep. 9 - The Upper Room

What if the pivotal moment of your faith was born from doubt and disbelief? Picture this: The disciples, huddled in an upper room, fear etched onto their faces as they grappled with the crucifixion of Jesus. Understandably, they were skeptical when the women came bearing news of an empty tomb. In a stunning turn of events, Jesus, in his glorified body, appears among them, passing through locked doors as if they were mere illusions. This bodily resurrection is a crucial aspect of Christian faith, affirming the redemption of all aspects of humanity.

Navigating the complexities of faith and doubt is not a straightforward journey, but it is one that we are all invited to embark on. Take Thomas, for example. His initial disbelief of the resurrection was transformed into unwavering faith when he saw and believed. Echoing his declaration of "my Lord, my God" during the consecration of the Eucharist serves as a profound profession of faith for all believers. The Sabbath, the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the transformative events that took place in that upper room weave together to form a sacred tapestry that speaks to the power of faith, the struggle with doubt, and the ultimate belief in God's providence. Join us as we ponder these divine mysteries and find ourselves immersed in the true presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
