St. Dismas, the "Good Thief"
St. Dismas, the "Good Thief"
Catholic tradition recalls for us the repentant criminal crucified beside Jesus as St. Dismas, often called the “Good Thief.” Although his story occupies only a few lines in Scripture, it has become one of the most powerful testimonies to God's Mercy in all of Christian teaching. Father Chris Alar, MIC, reveals the details of his story.
Then revisit the story of Cathy Viola, the sister of our Cameraman Giuseppe, our beloved Brother who also has recently suffered a very serious stroke (with your prayers and miracles, he's getting better). Cathy died recently. Please keep her and her family in your prayers as we share again her extraordinary example of what it means to carry one's cross.
