John B Keane, author and playwright, was moved by the story of the crucified Christ on Calvary turning to the thief on the Cross beside him and telling the thief they would be together in paradise.  A note to his wife, Mary, concluded: imagine a man of the quality of Christ making a promise like that on his death cross. We know he is going to keep it. I’m sure Christ in his infinite forgiveness won’t keep anyone out of paradise”.

Let us pray.

Act of Contrition:  O my God, because You are so good, I am very sorry that I have sinned against You and with the help of Your grace I will not sin again.

Amen
