Afloat on the Wood of the Cross
Father Thomas contemplates the Apostle Thomas' grasping of the wounds of Christ. Using the commentary of St. Theophan the Recluse as a springboard, Father Thomas reminds us that we all desire something to grasp onto in faith — our friends, our prayers, our parish, the Church.
Indeed, we are all drowning... and we remain afloat only by the very wood of the Cross!
