SAINT DIMAS, who had the happiness to hear from the lips of Crucified Jesus these words of salvation: today you will be with me in Heaven, and that, full of great trust in the merciful love of Jesus, dared to ask: "LORD, REMEMBER ME WHEN YOU ENTER IN YOUR KINGDOM" and achieved mercy and forgiveness that transformed him into a saint and a martyr, glorious SAINT DIMAS, your lively faith and your true contrition in the true hour, served you great grace.

Also us, poor sinners, by the wounds of Crucified Jesus and by the pain of your Mother, Holy Mary, pray to you and hope to achieve the divine mercy in life, and above all in the hour of death.

And so that such glory shall be granted to us, we beg your valuable protection. Oh, SAINT DIMAS, you were the Good Thief that, stealing Heaven and conquering the painful and merciful heart of Jesus, became a model of trust and of the regretful sinners.

Help us, Saint DIMAS, in all our afflictions and need, spiritual or temporal! Specially in the true hour, when our agony comes, ask Jesus, crucified and death for our salvation, so that we can have our regret and trust, and also, like you, hear the promise: "Today you shall be with me in Heaven".
