	Patron Saints Index: Saint Dismas
		One of the thieves crucified with Jesus, the other being traditionally known as Gestas; Dismas is the one who rebuked the other, and asked for Christ's blessing.
		An old legend from an Arabic infancy gospel says that when the Holy Family were running to Egypt, they were set upon by a band of thieves including Dismas and Gestas.
		One of the highwaymen realized there was something different, something special about them, and ordered his fellow bandits to leave them alone; this thief was Dismas.

	The Good Thief III
		Dismas was NOT scandalized, instead he drew the wisdom, the philosophy beyond the appearances, and aimed for the eternal kingdom.
		Dismas turns toward his companion, you and I, (so far) have walk the walk, we are both on the cross...
		Dismas' strength bursts in the middle of tortures, far from rebelling, he is resigned, he holds back patiently, he becomes unmindful of his own suffering and wants to convert his companion through his own example.

		Dismas certainly proved by his words to Jesus and to the other thief on the cross that he fit the criteria and received baptism of desire.
		Some feel that it is not "fair" that Dismas was a criminal who not only was apparently not baptized but also had lived a life of sin and then in his last minutes of life on earth was saved.
		Just as Dismas repented at the last moments of his life on earth, let us see that this is great hope for all and grant that we never grow weary in our efforts to bring the light of salvation to all.

	B-292091, Dismas Charities, Inc., June 25, 2003
		Dismas Charities, Inc. protests the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons' (BOP) award of a contract to Alston Wilkes Society (AWS) pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. 200-0724-SE to establish, operate, and maintain a community corrections center for federal offenders in Charleston, South Carolina.
		Next, Dismas protests the agency's evaluation of offerors' past performance, the most heavily weighted evaluation factor, on the basis that the agency failed to request the same type of information from all references and in a manner consistent with that specified by the RFP.
		Similarly, the agency's summary assertions that Dismas was not prejudiced by the agency's other procurement errors--including the agency's failure to consider all of Dismas's proposal information, and the agency's failure to permit Dismas to respond to adverse past performance information--are substantially without any documented, objective analysis.
