Antiphon
Cf. Ps 118 (117): 28, 21
You are my God, and I confess you;
you are my God, and I exalt you;
I will thank you, for you became my savior.
The Gloria in excelsis (Glory to God in the highest) is said.
Collect
Grant, almighty God,
that we may glory in the Feast of the blessed Apostle Thomas,
so that we may always be sustained by his intercession
and, believing, may have life
in the name of Jesus Christ your Son,
whom Thomas acknowledged as the Lord.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
