St Thomas, Apostle

Almighty and everliving God, who strengthened your apostle Thomas with sure and certain faith in your Son's resurrection: Grant us so perfectly and without doubt to believe in Jesus Christ, our Lord and our God, that our faith may never be found wanting in your sight; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

1 When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion,
   we were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy;
   then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."
3 The LORD has done great things for us;
   we are glad.
4 Restore our fortunes, O LORD,
   like streams in the Negeb!
5 Those who sow in tears
   shall reap with shouts of joy!
6 He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing,
   shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
Psalm 126 – English Standard Version
