The neophyte apostle Thomas,
was filled with doubt and inhibition.
Knowing Christ had died,
his faith began to flounder.
For Judas’s lecherous betrayal 
had transformed faith’s flame
into embers;
left to smolder in his heart.
He saw Jesus’s death
as Divine Providence,
and the rumors of His resurrection
as bombast! 
He nursed a dolorous heart;
broken by grief.
But, when he looked upon the face of Jesus
and placed his fingers in His wounds,
he wept tears of joy;
fueled by belief.
