St Thomas is the Apostle who would not believe that Jesus had risen from the dead until he felt the Wounds with his own hands. He was nicknamed “Doubting Thomas”.

Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe.” John 20:29 Pray for the Gift of Faith, to believe without having to always see proof or hear justification.
