Devotion to St. Thomas the Apostle: Prayer that will give you support in problems!

Almighty and ever-living God, who strengthened your apostle Thomas with a sure and sure faith in the resurrection of your Son. Grant us so perfectly and no doubt to believe in Jesus Christ, our Lord and our God, that our faith will never be found missing in your sight; for the one who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

O Glorious St. Thomas, your pain for Jesus was such that he would not have made you believe that he was risen unless you saw him and touched his wounds. But your love for Jesus was just as great and led you to give up your life for him. Pray for us that we may grieve for our sins that caused Christ's suffering. Help us to spend ourselves in his service and thus earn the title of "blessed" that Jesus applied to those who would believe in him without seeing him. Amen.

Lord Jesus, St. Thomas doubted Your resurrection until He touched Your wounds. After Pentecost, you called him to be a missionary in India, but he doubted again and said no. He only changed his mind after being enslaved by a trader who happened to be in India. Once he was cured of his doubts, you released him and started the work you called him to do. As patron saint against all doubt, I ask him to pray for me when I question the direction in which you are leading me. Forgive me if I distrust You, Lord, and help me grow from experience. St. Thomas, pray for me. Amen.

Dear St. Thomas, you were once slow to believe that Christ was gloriously risen; but later, because you had seen it, you exclaimed: "My Lord and my God!" According to an ancient story, you made the most powerful assistance in building a church in a place where pagan priests opposed. Please bless architects, masons and carpenters so that through them the Lord may be honored.
