The collect for today, the Feast of St Thomas the Apostle, from The Book of Common Prayer (Canadian, 1962):
ALMIGHTY and everliving God, who for the more confirmation of the faith didst suffer thy holy Apostle Thomas to be doubtful in thy Son’s resurrection: Grant us so perfectly, and without all doubt, to believe in thy Son Jesus Christ, that our faith in thy sight may never be reproved. Hear us, O Lord, through the same Jesus Christ, to whom, with thee and the Holy Spirit, be all honour and glory, now and for evermore. Amen.
The Epistle: Ephesians 2:19-22
The Gospel: St John 20:24-29
