The Feast Day of the Conversion of Saint Paul the Apostle commemorates a pivotal moment in Christian history. Saul, a zealous persecutor of Christians, encountered the divine on the road to Damascus, experiencing a radical conversion that transformed him into the Apostle Paul, one of the greatest evangelists of the faith. This day is a poignant reminder of God’s boundless mercy and the possibility of redemption for even the most hardened hearts. We reflect on Saint Paul’s journey, his unwavering commitment to spreading the Gospel, and the profound impact of his letters that form a significant part of the New Testament. The Feast Day of the Conversion of Saint Paul serves as an inspiration for us to embrace the transformative power of God’s grace and to be open to the unexpected ways in which He can work in their lives.
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them – yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. – 1 Corinthians 15:10
