Publisher description
Excerpt from The Certainty of Divine Faith: A Sermon Preached on the Feast of St. Thomas the Apostle, 1853, in the Church of St. Gregory the Great, in Rome; At the Solemn Benediction of the Right Reverend Father M. Bernard Burder
"Thomas answered and said to Him: My Lord and my God. Jesus saith to him: Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and have believed." - St. John xx. 28, 29.
It was not by chance, brethren, as the Church teaches us by the words of St. Gregory, read in the matins of this festival, that St. Thomas was not with the other Disciples when Jesus came. His Divine Master permitted him for a time to doubt, as He also permitted Lazarus, whom He loved, to die, of whom He said, "This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God; that the Son of Man may be glorified by it." In the unbelief of Thomas there were, as we now see, deep purposes of grace both to him and to us.
The notices we have of St. Thomas in Holy Scripture are few; and yet, though few, they are full of meaning. They set before us, as by the master-strokes of a divine hand, the whole outline of his character.
