understanding motherhood with its joys and sorrows

Sometimes People Call Me The “Good Thief”

April 14, 2017 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

Christ and the good thief dismas

Sometimes people call me the “good thief.” Believe me, there’s no such thing as a “good thief.” I am the repentant thief. Today I’m called St. Dismas, but that title means nothing to me.

crucifixion of Christ and discipleship

There is a semi-popular saying that floats around the internet and social media and it goes like this: “The Devil calls you by your Sins. Christ calls you by name.” The truth of this saying is something I often ponder when reading the story of Mary Magdalen when she goes to the tomb of Jesus.

Pope St. John Paul II:

Jesus Christ meets the man of every age, including our own, with the same words: “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” These words contain both a fundamental requirement and a warning: the requirement of an honest relationship with regard to truth as a condition for authentic freedom, and the warning to avoid every kind of illusory freedom, every superficial unilateral freedom, every freedom that fails to enter into the whole truth about man and the world.  (Redemptor Hominis No. 12)
