The Good Thief

Apologetics Blog

 

This site was born out of weakness.
Out of a sense of dissonance, of loss — and at times, a difficult silence.
But also out of a longing: to seek light where it seems hidden,
to let the Gospel enter the world without escaping it,
and to say — even quietly — that faith can still bear fruit.

Apologetics, here, is not a defense, nor an argument.
It is a gesture of hope, a word offered in trust.
An attempt to say why we believe — not by strength, but by grace —
for it is in weakness that God’s power is made perfect.
(2 Corinthians 12:9)

This space brings together theology, history, social reflection, experience, and prayer.
But it rests most deeply on this quiet conviction:
that the Holy-Spirit still gives light, even — especially — where we least expect it.
That truth does not impose itself, but gently proposes itself.
And that it is known not by brilliance, but by the peace it leaves behind.

This blog does not seek to persuade.
It hopes to awaken, to make room, to let something shine through.
Neither nostalgic nor progressive, it seeks fidelity, not repetition.
It speaks to those who feel that something essential is being lost,
but that not all is lost.

Huile sur toile dans le style baroque, représentant la scène du Calvaire. À droite du Christ crucifié, un homme agonise, le visage tourné vers Jésus, traversé d’une lumière chaude et dorée. C’est le bon larron. Son regard, mêlé de douleur et d’espérance, s’accroche à celui du Sauveur. Les deux croix se dressent dans un ciel d’orage, mais un rayon de lumière descend sur cet homme que l’histoire n’a pas nommé — seulement sauvé.

Ses lèvres sont entrouvertes. Il prononce ces mots exacts, les seuls qui lui ont été nécessaires :

« Jésus, souviens-toi de moi quand tu viendras dans ton Royaume. »
(Luc 23,42)

Et face à lui, le Christ, dans l’épuisement de l’agonie, murmure la promesse que rien n’effacera :

« En vérité, je te le dis : aujourd’hui, tu seras avec moi dans le Paradis. »
(Luc 23,43)
