Thomas the Apostle
Collect for the day:
Almighty and eternal God, who, for the firmer foundation of our faith, allowed your holy apostle Thomas to doubt the resurrection of your Son till word and sight convinced him: grant to us, who have not seen, that we also may believe and so confess Christ as our Lord and God; who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
Psalm response: – The Lord has done great things indeed.
