menjelaskan iman kepada adik-adik SD,
St Lucia Church, Rumbai-Indonesia
Terima kasih Thomas
Satu dari antara rasul Yesus
Yang terkenal karena keraguannya
Tapi akhirnya percaya

Terima kasih Thomas
Satu-satunya rasul yang bertanya
Tentang Yesus yang bangkit
Yang akhirnya mengerti juga

Terima kasih Thomas
Satu di antara kita semua
Yang jujur akan imannya
Yang akhirnya memiliki iman yang kuat

Terima kasih Thomas
Rasul yang meragukan
Iman yang diterima begitu saja
Yang akhirnya menerima iman yang rasional

Terima kasih Thomas
Satu di antara kami manusia modern
Yang meragukan iman
Namun tak mampu mengakuinya

Terima kasih Thomas
Karena engkau, kami pun beriman
Ya Yesus tambahkanlah iman kami
Seperti Engkau menambah penjelasan pada rasul Thomas

Kapel Biara Xaverian (SX), Padang-Indonesia


Terima kasih Yesus
Kau mengunjungiku
Lewat Maria Magdala
Lewat Dua Murid ke Emmaus
Lewat Petrus dan kawan-kawan

Terima kasih Yesus
Kau mengunjungiku
Meski mereka sulit percaya
Hati mereka tertutup
Untuk mendengarmu

Terima kasih Yesus
Kau mengunjungiku
Meski kami tak percaya
Jika belum melihat sendiri
Bentuk wajah-Mu

Terima kasih Yesus
Kau mengunjungiku
Meski kami tak mengerti
Untuk apa kau datang
Berbicara berkali-kali

Terima kasih Yesus
Kau mengunjungiku
Membuka mata dan hati para rasul
Mengetuk hati kami yang tertutup
Untuk mendengar dan melihat sendiri

Bahwa Engkau telah bangkit
Bahwa mereka mestinya percaya
Setelah Engkau menampakkan diri berulang kali
Bahwa kami juga mestinya percaya
Meski tak melihat

Bahwa dengan iman
Dan hanya dengan iman
Kami bisa paham dan percaya
Akan misteri kebangkitan-Mu
Terima kasih Yesus yang bangkit

Sacred Heart Convent, Bangkok-Thailand

Three times already, Jesus appears to the disciples. Since the meeting with Maria of Magdala, then with two disciples of Emmaus, and today with all the eleven disciples. Even these three times of meeting, they still don't understand the Jesus' messages. Maria of Magdala needs another sign to believe in Jesus. Jesus called her by name. The two disciples of Emmaus through the breaking of bread they believe in Jesus. Both Maria and the disciples of Emmaus shared their experience with others. But, the others still remain as unbeliever in what they heard. Finally, Jesus comes to all of them. In yesterday's Gospel we read the experience of Peter and friends. There is the same thing there; they need the signs to understand Jesus' messages.

This journey of faith of the disciples is like ours as well. We need time and sign to understand and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. But even we receive this sign and meet people who help us, sometimes still we don't believe. Probably because we still close our heart to the Jesus' messages. Today, Jesus invites us to open our heart and listen to His voice. Maybe we need more than three or four experiences to understand Him. No problem. We have a little faith in our heart that Jesus gave when we receive the baptism. Our task now is to keep this little faith and try to grow it up in our daily life. That is our candle of faith. Like the ordinary candle, we need the glass cover to protect it from the blast of wind.

Thank you, Jesus because You continue to visit us in our daily life. Thanks for teaching us to understand your messages and to believe in You. Jesus, make us able to keep and to grow up our candle of faith. Thank you, Jesus, for showing us how to live out the gospel.
