Since my RCIA class was finished early, I dropped by my Protestant friend, Steve's scripture class. They were faith sharing. The passage was Matt. 20: 1-16, commonly known as the Laborers in the Vineyard.
If you're not using your eyes of faith, but only the eyes of the world, you would slap the owner of the vineyard with an unfair labor practices lawsuit. But God sees differently and he loves everyone and gives generously.
The parable is meant to give hope. The believer who professes belief, (like St. Dismas), in his last breath, has every right to be in heaven as the cradle believer.
I added my two cents to the class. We ended in prayer and I made sure I made the sign of my faith--I blessed myself with the sign of the cross.
