APRIL 15, 2012 . DIVI E MERCY SU DAY

We know what to expect when we crack an egg. The clear egg white and sunny yolk run out when the egg is opened ready to be cooked for a morning breakfast. Maybe you already had eggs today before you came to church, or are planning to have them as part of a Sunday brunch. Fried, scrambled, poached, or made into an omelet, eggs are a breakfast staple in this country. Easter eggs, those wonderfully colored foods in baskets at this time of year are hardboiled. When I was growing up, my mother would make hardboiled eggs to slice on a salad, or use for egg salad sandwiches. At ninety-four, she still makes the best deviled eggs in the family. But I remember as a child that every once in a while, Mom would get the fresh eggs and the hardboiled ones mixed up in the refrigerator. Some mornings Dad would grab a couple of eggs to fix for breakfast, and the first one he would try to crack open would be hardboiled. The mystery of an egg is that even though we know what to expect inside, we can't always tell what is in there. Fresh and hardboiled look exactly the same. In today's Gospel, the apostles made it clear to Thomas that they had seen the Lord now that he had risen from the tomb. But Thomas wasn't so sure. He wanted to really check things out. A bit like opening an egg, Thomas had to find out for himself if the Jesus who had come back to life was more than the appearance of some ghost. He wanted to probe the nail marks and put his hand in the wound in Jesus' side. When he finally did get the opportunity his response was, "My Lord and my God."
