A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Kintore College on the solemnity of All Saints, November 1st 2022.

I read a book that dramatizes in first person the personality of the Good Thief. As he looked at me, I thought he was trying to smile, and then he said, “I promise you, today you will be with me in paradise.” He died that day, but we know he became St. Dismas. This is our dream. Saint Josemaria too had that dream: He would repeat that phrase: Dream and your dreams will fall short.

Music: Carlos Gardel, Soledad, arranged for guitar by Bert Alink.

Thumbnail: Portico of Paradise, in the Cathedral of San Martin de Ourense, Spanish Romanesque.
