Volume 8 Issue 7 St. Jude Syro-Malabar Catholic Church Page 3 POPE TWEETS Pope Francis @Pontifex July 2nd How beautiful it is to see when young people are street preachers, joyfully bringing Jesus to every street and every corner of the earth! Pope Francis @Pontifex July 16th Let us be led by the Virgin Mary on the path that leads to the holy mountain that is Christ, where God and man meet. Pope Francis @Pontifex July 18th We must overcome all forms of racism, of intolerance and of the instrumentalization of the human person. Serving is the way that mission is carried out, the only way to be a disciple of Jesus. HOLY FATHER S INTENTIONS FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST That our brothers and sisters who have strayed from the faith, through our prayer and witness to the Gospel, may rediscover the merciful closeness of the Lord and the beauty of the Christian life. SAINTS CORNER St. Thomas St. Thomas was born a Jew and was called to be one of the twelve Apostles. His birth and death dates are unknown, but his feast day is celebrated July 3. He lived before the formal establishment of the Catholic Church but is recognized as the patron saint of architects. He was a dedicated but impetuous follower of Christ. When Jesus said, He was returning to Judea to visit His sick friend Lazarus, Thomas immediately exhorted the other Apostles to accompany Him on the trip which involved certain danger and possible death because of the mounting hostility of the authorities. At the Last Supper, when Christ told His disciples that He was going to prepare a place for them to which they also might come because they knew both the place and the way, Thomas pleaded that they did not understand and received the beautiful assurance that Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. St. Thomas is best known for his role in verifying the Resurrection of his Master. Thomas' unwillingness to believe that the other Apostles had seen their risen Lord on the first Easter Sunday earned him the title of "doubting Thomas." Eight days later, on Christ's second apparition, Thomas was gently rebuked for his skepticism and furnished with the evidence he had demanded - seeing in Christ's hands the point of the nails. Thomas even put his fingers in the nail holes and his hand into Christ's side. After verifying the wounds were true, St. Thomas became convinced of the reality of the Resurrection and exclaimed, "My Lord and My God," thus making a public Profession of Faith in the Divinity of Jesus.
