FEAST OF THE CONVERSION OF PAUL, APOSTLE

You’re never an impossible mission for God

The details of the story vary, but whatever happened to Saint Paul on the road near Damascus was literally a turning point in his life. What was so incredible about Paul’s “turning around”—his conversion—was not only the dramatic suddenness of it but also the fact that it happened in the midst of his persecution of Christians. He literally changed sides in mid-stride, switching his allegiances completely. Paul’s conversion was a decisive statement on God’s part that personal change is always possible. Have faith, and therefore hope, in that power today.
