St Paul: Called to Conversion
a seven day retreat
by Fr Ronald D Witherup
Paul's conversion is as dramatic a turning point as any in history. Whatever happened on the road to Damascus, the experience was powerful enough to turn the infant church's most passionate opponent into its champion. Paul's considerable knowedge of Jewish Law helped to explain how Jesus could be the Christ, and his familiarity with gentile culture made countless converts throughout the Roman Empire. His tireless preaching and writing, extensive travels and personal sacrafice offer a lasting testament and guide to the church. His life is a witness that conversion is not a onetime event, but a lifetime of commitment.
Let St Paul: Called to Conversion provide inspiration for your next armchair retreat or small group discussion.
