Today's Gospel reading concerning "Doubting Thomas" gives us an opportunity to reflect on how we look at something that seems "too good to be true". Yes, we tend to be cynical and pessimistic, especially with all of the problems and difficulties we experience. However, we should not carry those attitudes over to our hope for the future. We should rather set our hearts on the greatest good (God, the Kingdom of Heaven), and everything else will fall into place. As Christians, we are bold enough to expect things like beauty, goodness, perfection, heaven.
