Then the disciples wereglad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent

me, even so I am sending you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,“Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withholdforgiveness from any, it is withheld.”Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. Sothe other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in hishands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand intohis side, I will never believe.”Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although thedoors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he saidto Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in myside. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said tohim, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yethave believed.”Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written inthis book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,and that by believing you may have life in his name.LCIn many and various ways, God spoke to His people of old by the prophets.But now in these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son.MASSMissa brevis Sancti Joannis de Deo (“Little Organ Mass”), Hob.
