CONVERSION OF ST. PAUL(25TH JANUARY)
STATUE OF SAINT PAUL IN COLLEGIO SAN PAOLO, ROME
St. Paul never recalled to mind this his wonderful conversion, without raptures of gratitude and praise to the divine mercy. The church, in thanksgiving to God for such a miracle of his grace, from which it has de rived such great blessings, and to commemorate so miraculous an instance of his almighty power, and to propose to penitents a perfect model of a true conversion has instituted this festival, which we find mentioned in several calendars and missals of the eighth and ninth centuries, and which pope Innocent III. commanded to be observed with great solemnity.
Prayer:
God our Father,You taught the Gospel to all the worldthrough the preaching of Paul Your apostle.May we who celebrate his conversion to the faithfollow him in bearing witness to Your truth.We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,one God, for ever and ever. +Amen.
