Señor. Mío, y Dios Mio My Lord, and My God
This is how one culture chooses to remeber St. Thomas.
As English speakers, if I say “Thomas”, you probably think “doubting.” This is how we think of him.
Without even realizing it, each of us absorbs or culture, the good and the bad. We copy, often without thought.
As Christians we are called to think. We are called to question. We are called to evaluate. We are called to choose.
We can be more than our culture. We can choose what we focus on. We can focus on the bad or we can focus on the food. We can continue to focus on St. Thomas’s doubt. Or we can remember St. Thomas for his faith and for his evangelization of what we now call India and the surrounding area.
By our choices, we show who we really are.
