ISB ~ Luke 23 v42

remember me:The penitent thief may have sneered at Jesus earlier (Mk 15:32). His conversion at the final hour is now manifest by his insight: he does not see Jesus’ death as his demise, but

looks forwardto the coming of his royal kingdom. The promise of “Paradis

e” (Lk 23:43) is generously out of proportion to the man’s simple request (CCC 1021). See word study: Paradise at 2 Cor 12:3.
