St Thomas

Eternal God, who strengthened Thomas your apostle, when he was in doubt, with sure and certain faith in the resurrection of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ: grant that we may be not faithless but believing, until we come to see our Saviour in his glory face to face; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
