Scene 1: Market Square


Narrator:
In the heart of Malabar, where bells toll and coins ring louder than
conscience, a lesson waits to unfold. The people believe they are
wise—but wisdom often walks disguised, dressed in rags, and
burdened with doubt.
(Lina and Tomas Walk through a bustling medieval market. Benedict,
the beggar, sits quietly by the well.)
Lina:
Did you hear, Tomas? Merchant Gideon’s purse is gone. I say it was
him. (points at Benedict)
Tomas:
Lina, don’t accuse without proof.
Lina:
He’s always there, sitting with those shifty eyes. What more do you
need?
Benedict (calmly):
Better to guard your tongue than your silver. Both may be stolen, but
one does more harm in the wrong hands.
Gideon (enters angrily):
That’s enough! I know it was you, beggar. I want justice!
Aristocrat (approaches):
If the merchant says so, then let it be. The man has nothing. No
reason not to steal.
Tomas (to himself):
Why does my heart doubt what they say…?

Scene 2: The Chapel – Vision of St. Thomas


Narrator:
That night, young Tomas wandered to the village chapel, burdened
by noise and silence alike. He prayed not for answers—but for
understanding. And from the shadows stepped a light, marked by
love and wounds.
(St. Thomas the Apostle enters, cloaked in soft light. His presence is
calm but piercing.)
St. Thomas:
You seek the truth, child?
Tomas:
Yes... but I don’t know what’s right. Everyone speaks as if they know.
St. Thomas (warmly):
I once said: “Except I see in His hands the print of the nails... I will not
believe.” (John 20:25) They called me doubter. But the Lord did not
rebuke me—He invited me. “Reach hither thy hand,” He said, “and be
not faithless, but believing.” (John 20:27)
Tomas:
So… doubt isn’t evil?
St. Thomas:
Doubt that seeks truth is a seed of faith. But judgment without
love—that is the true enemy of belief.
(St. Thomas begins walking slowly, speaking to the audience and
characters beyond the stage.)
St. Thomas:
“Judge not, that ye be not judged.” (Matthew 7:1)
Respect is due to all—not only to kings and merchants. For the Lord
said, “Whatsoever you do unto the least of these… you do unto Me.”
(Matthew 25:40)
(Benedict enters silently, listening. Tomas watches.)
Tomas:
But what if I trust someone, and I’m wrong?
St. Thomas:
Then do what is harder: forgive.
“If thy brother trespass, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.”
(Luke 17:3)
If he does not, still release the weight from your heart. Truth must be
spoken—but never without mercy.

Scene 3: The Morning Discovery


Narrator:
The next morning, Tomas searched behind the merchant’s stall,
following a gentle voice within.
Tomas (calling):
Here! The purse! It was never stolen—it fell behind Gideon’s own
cart!
Gideon (embarrassed):
I... I was certain. Forgive me, Benedict.
Aristocrat:
And I supported accusation without proof. My pride blinded me.
Lina:
I’m sorry too, Benedict. I judged you by rags, not by heart.
Benedict (bows gently):
Let no shame remain. Where forgiveness is given, peace may dwell.
(St. Thomas reappears behind them quietly. They don’t see him—but
Tomas does.)
St. Thomas (softly):
You have seen the truth—not just with your eyes, but with your soul.
Now walk in it.
(St. Thomas turns and slowly exits, fading into light.)

Final Scene: Narrator’s Conclusion


Narrator (steps forward):
And so, the people of Malabar learned what many forget:
That justice without compassion is cruelty.
That faith without truth is empty.
And that doubt—when honest—can lead us to the Divine.
St. Thomas the Apostle did not remain the Doubter.
He became a messenger of the Gospel, bearing wounds of his past as
proof of God’s mercy.
Let us to bear the marks of forgiveness, trust, and respect.
For blessed are those who believe,
Not because they saw with their eyes,
But because they listened with their hearts.
