A dying man asked a dying man for eternal life.
A man without possessions asked a poor man for a Kingdom.
A thief at the door of death asked to die like a thief and steal Paradise.
One would have thought a saint would have been the first soul
purchased over the counter of Calvary by the red coins of Redemption.
But in the Divine plan it was a thief
who was the escort of the King of kings
into Paradise.
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Wonderful, isn't it? His grace is all.
