Dear Gabriel,

In today’s Gospel (Luke 7:19:20), John asks of Jesus:

Are you the one?

Hours later, lying awake, I thought on this question. It is really the only important question we have to ask at all, because everything depends upon its answer.
Is he the one? I wish I could give you an absolute answer of certain faith. But at least we can ask the question with an open mind.

Yours,
Thomas
