Life
The criminal crucified at the Lord’s right hand who rebuked his mocking fellow, owned the justice of his own sentence, and asked only to be remembered — and received the largest promise in Scripture: ‘This day you shall be with me in Paradise.’ The Church keeps him as patron of prisoners and of deathbed conversions.
