On Monday and Friday of this week, the Catholic Church will celebrate the feasts of the Apostles, St. Peter, St. Paul, and St. Thomas. Our prayer theme this week will be to seek the guidance of those who walked with Jesus through His ministry; healing the sick, feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, and offering witness of the hope that believing in Jesus Christ as the Son of God will bring to each of us. We begin with the Apostle’s Creed.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Loving St. Thomas, the Apostle of Christ, as we celebrate your feast day today, we ask for your guidance in our pursuit for the grace that our God so graciously sets before us, but we sometimes fail too often to see. Your grief for Jesus was such that it would not let you believe he had risen unless you actually saw him and touched his wounds. But your love for Jesus was equally great and it led you to serve Him through His ministry. Pray for us that we may spend ourselves in his service and so earn the title of “blessed” which Jesus applied to those who would believe in him without seeing him.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
