Prayer in honour of St.Thomas
   O Lord God! We thank and praise you for sending St.Thomas the Apostle, in your divine providence to India, for proclaiming the good news that Jesus is our Lord and Saviour. He not only confessed Jesus as his Lord and Saviour, he also sealed his faith with his blood, and became the first martyr of the Indian Church. We glorify you Lord, for inspiring us through the courageous witness of St.Thomas.
   May St.Thomas, our patron obtain for us, through his powerful intercession, the grace to bear witness to you in the challenges of our life. May his constant intercession fulfill the needs of all those who are gathered here in faith and devotion.
   We pray in a special way through the powerful intercession of the Apostle, that all of us may be filled with the gifts of the Spirit to proclaim the Good News and to experience a new Pentecost in our lives.
   We make this prayer in the precious name of Jesus who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. -Amen.
