THE Good_THIEF IV

Also Known As — Saint DISMAS

Facts and more...

Justice is applied on "merits" — Mercy is the "undeserved" pardon.

In some ways Dismas can be compared to Judas, he can also be compared to the "bad" THIEF.

Our reparations are the "few drops" of WATER into the Chalice at the Offertory within the Mass.

Why is it that the sufferings of the Good T. are worthy Vs NOT worthy in the case of the bad THIEF?

Pray for us Holy Mother of God ...

... so that we may be made "worthy" ... 

When we sin we must make "some" reparations ...

OLJC repairs (and/or) re-establishes the relation with God the Father because of the Original break-up ...

... and the Personna Christi (ie: the Priest during the Canon of the Mass) ... 

... does the same for the "other sins" ... every day ...

 

DISMAS

GESTAS (aka) ... THE bad THIEF

 

Legend says that Dismas was an Egyptian ... and that during the early escape towards Egypt, he made an attempt to steal "something" from Joseph and Mary ... and that Mary at the foot of cross, mediated between her Son and Dismas ... for he did NO HARM or was "human" with the Holy Family ...

 

 

 

Of all the sciences of our "post-modern" times (Y2K) the most advanced is the science of stealing ...  Neither Dismas or Gestas has invented crimes. Both are criminals according to the law. Yet Gestas compounds his crimes with blasphemy ... "If you are so mighty take "yourself" off the cross ..."

 

 

 

Dismas was actually elected (ie: canonized by OLJC) ... the only human knowing his admission into Paradise ¾BEFORE¾ his death.  One must love SAINTS that were NOT always saints, yet (almost) instantly elected.

 

"DELIVER US FROM THIS FALSE SORCERER"

 

 

There are two kinds of sinners two are given Salvation, and two will despair. Dismas and Peter will accept to make amends and suffer the martyr after confessing the Kingship of OLJC ... and Judas and Gestas will FAIL to acknowledge the TRADITIONAL Messiah.
