SAINT OF THE WEEK – Saint Thomas, Apostle. Among the Apostles, Saint Thomas is remembered mainly because of his doubts about the resurrection of Christ. He did not want to admit anything that went beyond the bounds of his experience and reason. Eight days later, he made up for that unbelief with a profession of faith, ‘’My Lord and My God’’. According to tradition, he preached the Gospel in India where he suffered martyrdom. His feast is celebrated on July 3rd.
