Conversion of Saint Paul!!!

This feast concludes the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. We have prayed that all may be one in Christ. We pray for unity and peace among all people. The way for that to happen means that we need to have a conversion of heart. That is why the Lenten call is so important, "Rend your hearts, not your garments." Conversion comes from within. As the commentator writes, "Being converted is simply meeting yourself for the purpose of going to the very end of your being. Conversion means a willingness to see the truth of things and conform one's conduct to it" (Magnificat, 340). Conversion is a life-long process. We are always growing in faith and holiness. It takes time for people to experience that conversion, but today would be a good day to begin because we look to the example of Saint Paul as a model. Saint Paul, intercede for us and help us to find and grow in the gift of conversion. Have a blessed day!!!
