Doubting Thomas
If you have ever doubted aspects of your
Christian faith, St Thomas is the saint for you.
His feast day is on 3rd July. Thomas, one of
Jesus’ 12 disciples, was deeply devoted, but also
very honest whenever he got confused. When
Jesus spoke of going to his Father (John 14),
Thomas was not afraid to ask Him where His
Father was. As for the Resurrection, that really
baffled Thomas. He demanded to see the risen
Jesus for himself - and touch the wounds in His
hands and feet. When Jesus appeared, Thomas’
immediate response was one of worship: 'My
Lord and my God' (John 20). Thus, Doubting
Thomas’ honest doubts, turned to honest faith,
have become a reassurance for thousands of
us down the centuries who also sometimes
doubt Jesus. In Doubting Thomas’ complete
affirmation of faith, after meeting the risen,
crucified Christ, we can find support for our own
faith in Him.
