A young Daniel Thomas once sat in a pew at Mass and noticed his father striking his breast and saying, “My Lord and my God,” at the consecration. That was the Toledo bishop’s earliest memory of coming to understand the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Those words, spoken by the apostle Thomas after Jesus’ resurrection, are included on the bishop’s personal coat of arms. Bishop Thomas also used the biblical story in the impact session he gave Friday afternoon to some of the 60,000 Catholics gathered in Indianapolis for the 10th National Eucharistic Congress, the first in nearly a century. He and Sister Mercy Marie spoke about the mercy shown in the Eucharist, especially as it relates to abortion. Come November, Bishop Thomas will head the Committee on Pro-Life Activities for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for a three-year term.
