THE REPENTANT THIEF (ST DISMAS)

THE REPENTANT THIEF (ST DISMAS)

"Then were crucified with Him two thieves: one on the right hand, and one on the left" (Matt 27: 38). The one on the right prayed: "Body of Christ, save me! Blood of Christ, inebriate me! Water from the side of Christ, wash me! Passion of Christ, strengthen me! O Good Jesus, hear me!" Then Jesus replied: "Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in Paradise" (Luke 23: 43).
