Destined to
evangelize the Gentiles 'to turn them from darkness to light and from the
dominion of Satan to God that they may obtain the forgiveness of their sins'
(Acts 26:18), Saul is called by Christ, above all, to work a radical conversion
upon himself. Saul thus begins his laborious road of conversion that will last
as long as he lives, beginning with unusual humility with that ‘what must I do,
Lord?’ and docilely letting himself be led by the hand to Ananias, through
whose prophetic ministry it will be given to him to know God's plan.
-Blessed John Paul
II, Jan. 25,1983
On this Feast of your Conversion,
St. Paul, pray for Christians throughout the world, that we may be constantly
converted to an ever-stronger bond of unity in Our Lord, Jesus Christ.
