The experience of Dismas shows the unlimited power of forgiveness by God for those who request it. It is a reminder of the saving grace of God for those who have faith and repent. Perhaps Dismas' sufferings on the cross were enough to expiate his sins or perhaps Christ was trying to show us how merciful He is to those who accept Him as Lord and Saviour. In Catholic tradition Dismas is believed to have had a previous meeting with our Lord on the Holy Family's flight to Egypt. It is said that Dismas was very sick and the Blessed Virgin bathed him in the same water as the Holy Child

  • The experience of Dismas shows the unlimited power of forgiveness by God for those who request it. It is a reminder of the saving grace of God for those who have faith and repent. Perhaps Dismas' sufferings on the cross were enough to expiate his sins or perhaps Christ was trying to show us how merciful He is to those who accept Him as Lord and Saviour. Dismas' crucifixion was in fact a great grace for him, because due to his pain he began to think and believe things that never before occurred to him, and thus he became a Saint. Pain and suffering in our lives are also great graces which bring us close to Christ. Catholic tradition In Catholic tradition Dismas is believed to have had a previous meeting with our Lord on the Holy Family's flight to Egypt. It is said that Dismas was very sick and the Blessed Virgin bathed him in the same water as the Holy Child and Dismas was healed. This story may be a foreshadowing of how Jesus would heal Dismas' soul before his death so that he could enjoy eternal life. Dismas is the patron saint for those condemned to death, captives and repentant malefactors. His feast day is March 25, though it gains him no particular recognition as the important feast of the Annunciation falls upon the same day. Religious paintings show us Dismas crucified with ropes or nails, his face turned peacefully towards Jesus. A relic held at the Church of Santa Croce in Rome is by tradition a portion of the cross on which Dismas was crucified. Dismas is one of the Penitent Saints.
