St. Thomas, Apostle

St. Thomas doubted the Lord's Resurrection... but invited by our Lord to place his fingers into the Holy Wounds he passed suddenly from incredulity to ardent faith, exclaiming: "My Lord and my God!" He became one of the greatest Apostolic missionaries and died in India in the first century.


This is one of Maria's favorite activities of late. She clambers up into one of her strollers (with a little help) and sits there rather contentedly. Today she arranged a habit for herself out of a towel and her winter hat (no set up!). She is rather silly.

Yesterday, by the way, I closed out the semester at 11:00 in the morning (exam on the prophets). Last night we had a great time eating dinner with most of the ITI students before everybody scatters for Christmas break. Two of the students made a boatload of pasta, some salad, and a few other things (red wine, of course).

We were also given a statue of our Lady of Mariazell to have in our care over the Christmas break. Maria loves giving kisses to mother Mary and baby Jesus!
