Well done. St Thomas' exclamation, "my Lord and my God" is a beautiful prayer at the elevation of the Eucharist. Many don't know that St. Pius X issued an indulgence to anyone who said, "My Lord and My God ... with faith, piety, and love, while looking upon the Blessed Sacrament, either during the
Elevation in the Mass, or when exposed on the altar." This prayer, said out loud, is a clear expression of the miracle before our eyes: the Real Presence of our Lord. Do not be doubting but believe!
It is a Hindu word that is used for those who have renounced the material world and ascended to a higher spiritual place. By no means should it be misconstrued as Christian. It is probably being used the same way we would use Monk in a more universal sense rather than referring specifically to one of a catholic religious order.

Amen! Yes! I thought to include that as it is something that I do at every mass. Thank you for commenting on it.
Question: what does Sanyasi so mean? In your footnote Thomas is called Thomas Sanyasi.

Thanks, I thought it would be something of that nature!
