My Lord and My God!
Feast of St. Thomas, the Apostle
It is a special grace given that a person is concretely offered a proof for his or her faith. Otherwise faith is a personal experience that is inspired within a person and expressed in daily life. Thomas, the Apostle occasions an event that became a unforgettable experience for even the rest of the apostles, and for the whole original community of believers. Apart from focusing on the fact that Thomas doubted and hesitated to go by others' experience, his awe and total acceptance of the Master is a great inspiration for us. That statement he makes, My Lord and My God, was a such a spiritually matured statement that could not have come merely on the spur of the moment. It is definitely a relationship that Thomas shared with Jesus, a conviction he grew in and a declaration that summarised his faith experience. Thomas excels in taking the belief in Jesus to the next level, as he addresses Jesus for the first time as "God"!
May this holy apostle inspire us to yearn for more and more personal experiences with the person of Christ that we may ever grow in our identity as the children of God.

This is the Val Kilmer version of The Saint, which has _nothing_ to do with all prior versions of the Saint (except in name only); so, don't go looking for or checking up on references for accuracy purpose. This movie is Kilmer in his heydays which is great fun to watch. You do need to stretch imagination a bit to see Shue in her scientist role, though that's more or less a side show. The best part is, I love the music score from Duran Duran. It's perfect for this movie. Kilmer lives the role of the Saint.
