The Apostle Thomas exclaimed, “My Lord and my God!” (St. Jn 2:28) with one of the most beautiful confessions of faith in Christ handed down by the Gospels, a faith which proclaims the divinity of Christ, His lordship in our lives, and his victory over sin and death through his resurrection. This event is so real that Saint Thomas is invited to touch for Himself the actual marks of the crucified and risen Jesus (cf. St. Jn 20:27)
