Lord Jesus, who knew your time from the beginning, give us courage like Thomas to walk with you regardless of where you lead, trusting that even if we suffer with you, it is better to be with you in death than to live apart from your presence, through you who is the resurrection and the life in the power of the Father and Holy Spirit. Amen. ‘Thomas, who was called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”‘ – John 11:16
