Dominicus Corea

"And now that Thou has restored to me the knowledge of Thyself, O Lord, let thy pardon fall on me, since Thy infinite mercy is not better known in anything than in pardoning a Dismas (the traditional name of the good thief) on the Cross and a Dominicus Corea on the gallows. If in Hell there is room for sinners, in Heaven also there is room for penitents."

Source : The last address of King Dominicus Corea on the gallows in Colombo before he was executed by the Portugues; as quoted in "Great Sinhalese Men and Women of History - Edirille Bandara (Domingos Corea)" by John M. Senaveratna, 1937.
