Belated Saint of the Day- St Dismas- Mar 25

 

St Dismas, The Good Theif           (AD 29)



Not much is known of this saint, other than that he was crucified at the right hand of Our Lord Jesus Christ on Calvary. It was he who rebuked the thief on the left of Christ, who is traditionally called Gestas.  St. Dismas is most often called the Good Thief. It was Dismas who said "Jesus, Remember me when you come into your kingdom", to which Our Lord replied "Amen I say to you, this day you shall be with me in paradise." His feast is March 25.
