| Still Doubting by John Granville Gregory |
Thomas was a doubter, Lord:
he needed to see
your suffering's wounds
before he'd believe
your risen glory...
I'm a doubter, too, Lord:
I often avoid
the marks of your pain,
wanting only the balm
of your healing touch...
But the way of the Cross
is the path to your peace:
there's no other way to get there...
My own wounds, Lord
mark precisely the place
where you come to meet me:
mending my soul,
healing my doubts,
inviting me into your peace...
Like Thomas, Lord, I doubt
and so I pray for the gift of faith...
And like Thomas, I believe:
Lord, help my unbelief...
Amen.
