The secret to Saint Paul’s profound apostolic ministry is the depths of his conversion, which is considered the greatest in Church history. His encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus was only the beginning of Saul’s transformation into the great Apostle Paul. His radical response was to withdraw for three years to Arabia. (Gal 1:17) It was there, alone in prayer, that Paul began “to grasp the length, the height and the depth” of God. (Eph 3:19)
Let us come together October to celebrate in Thanksgiving all that the Lord has done! I think of the ten lepers that were healed and only one returned to thank Jesus. Do you know what Jesus said? “Where are the other nine? I seems that no one has come back to give praise to God, except tis foreigner.” (Lk 17:11-19) What about you, will you return to gave thanks?
