Everliving God, who strengthened your apostle Thomas with firm 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.

“The One whom Saint Thomas beheld after the Resurrection is the One whom we behold at Christmas in the crib, the One of whom we confess on the feast of the Nativity that He is both ‘God of God’ and ‘made man’. Saint Thomas, in other words, has prepared us to joyfully affirm Nicene Faith before [the] crib, of the One whom the crib holds.”
