THE CONVERSION OF ST PAUL, APOSTLE

Acts 22:3-16 (or Acts 9:1-22); Ps 116;
Mark 16:15-18

Tell the Good News

St Paul’s conversion was not something that happened once and for all. Conversion is an ongoing process rather than a single event. Paul wrote of his struggles against temptation: ‘For I don’t do the good I want to do, but instead do the evil that I don’t want to do’ (Rom 7:19). Paul’s sinfulness did not prevent him from preaching the Gospel. Nor should ours.
