St. Thomas the Apostle
Jithin’s Patron Saint, Feast Day: July 3rd
Prayer: O glorious St. Thomas, your grief for Jesus was so great that you could not believe in His Resurrection until you saw and touched His wounds. Yet your love for Him was equally great, leading you to give your life in His service. Pray for us, that we may grieve for our sins, which caused Christ’s suffering. Help us to give ourselves fully in His service, so that we may be counted among the blessed who believe without seeing. Amen.
