St. Thomas the Apostle, often called “Doubting Thomas,” is a powerful witness to faith born through encounter.
Though he questioned the Resurrection, his doubt led to a deeper, personal profession: “My Lord and my God!”
As one of the twelve apostles, he carried the Gospel to distant lands, including India, where he was martyred.
His journey teaches us that honest questioning can lead to profound belief and mission.
St. Thomas reminds us that Christ meets us in our doubts with mercy and truth.
He is honored as the patron saint of India and all who seek deeper faith.
“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
— John 20:29
