Gospel: “Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here, and see my hands… Do not be unbelieving, but believe.’” (John 20:19, 27)
Meditation:
Mary is the teacher of hidden faith. While the Apostles trembled and Thomas demanded physical proof, Mary remained the “Stabat Mater” of the Resurrection. Her faith did not depend on sight because she held the Word in her soul long before she held Him in her arms. We seek her silent joy.

The Medal Connection:
On the reverse, the Cross of Christ rests upon a bar above the “M”. Just as Thomas was invited to touch the wounds of Christ, the Medal offers a tactile connection to the Mystery. Mary stands on the globe, crushing the serpent, reminding us that even in doubt, the victory is won.
