While suffering on the cross, Christ told the good thief, “Today you shall be with me in Paradise,” yet we know that Christ would not ascend to His Father until the third day. What is a proper Catholic understanding of this question? Thanks and God Bless.
 
Hi,

Jesus didn’t ascend to the Father until Ascension Thursday. The day He died He opened the gates of heaven. He arose from the dead on the third day, Easter Sunday.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
