Saint Thomas, Apostle – Feast
First reading – Ephesians 2:19-22
The Feast of Saint Thomas the Apostle invites us to rediscover the heart of the Apostolic tradition: a living, dynamic faith in which everything is aligned to Christ, everyone grows into Christ, and everywhere you become one in Spirit. As Saint Paul writes to the Ephesians, we are no longer strangers or outsiders, but members of God’s household, part of a spiritual structure where Christ is the cornerstone. In this sacred building, nothing stands apart from Him, every stone, every life, every vocation finds its meaning and strength only when aligned to Christ. This alignment is not conformity, but transformation, a steady growing into Him who is our life. And as each of us grows into Christ, we are not drawn into isolation but into communion, becoming one Body, one temple, one dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. The faith handed down through the apostles is not merely a collection of teachings but a living reality that makes us one in Spirit, across time, place, and culture. Today, let us reflect on whether our hearts, choices, and communities are truly aligned to Christ, and whether we are allowing His Spirit to shape us into a people who live, grow, and unite in Him. Let’s reflect: Is my life truly aligned to Christ in a way that allows me to grow in Him and live in unity with others through the Spirit?
