art, art meditations, ascension, belief, caravaggio, catholic church, catholic faith, doubt, doubting thomas, faith, father mark mary, father mark-mary, fr. mark mary, fr. mark-mary, glorious, glorious mysteries, good shepherd, jesus appearing to the disciples, lost sheep, resurrection, risen, riy, rosary, rosary in a year, rosary-in-a-year, sacred art, thomas, trust, visio divina, wounds
Fr. Mark-Mary reflects on St. Thomas not as doubting and resistant, but as someone honestly expressing his need to see and believe because he is aware that if the Resurrection is true, everything must change. Caravaggio’s The Incredulity of St. Thomas captures this moment of intimate encounter, as the risen Jesus gently leads Thomas to touch His side, revealing a love that welcomes doubt and transforms it into belief. We are encouraged to acknowledge our own need for grace and trust that Christ will meet us there. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Resurrection and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.
All of the Sacred Art we’ll be meditating with can be found in the Rosary in a Year Prayer Guide, for free linked in the complete prayer plan, or in the Ascension App. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy.
