General Description:

Kick off the June 2008 to June 2009 Jubilee Year of Saint Paul with the perfect mix of inspiration, information, and action in the Year of St. Paul pamphlet!

Discover why God would choose such a man as Paul, who was neither a gifted speaker nor a man of great presence, to become the person now referred to as the "Founder of the Christian Church." Just as God entrusted this man "of no account" with the future of His Church, you have an oportunity to embrace this same mission.

Anything is possible with a focus on Christ as St. Paul showed so well. Allow Christ to live -- and breathe, speak, walk, reach out -- in your daily life, going beyond just Sunday Mass.

"The success of his apostolate depended above all on his personal involvement in proclaiming the Gospel with total dedication to Christ; a dedication that feared neither risk, difficulty, nor persecution." -- Pope Benedict XVI

St. Paul the Apostle

Profile
    Saul was a Jewish Talmudic student. Pharisee. Tent-maker by trade. Saul the Jew hated and persecuted Christians as heretical, even assisting at the stoning of Saint Stephen the Martyr. On his way to Damascus to arrest another group of them, he was knocked off his horse and to the ground, struck blind by a heavenly light, and given the message that in persecuting Christians, he was persecuting Christ. The experience had a profound spiritual effect on him, causing his conversion to Christianity. He was baptized, changed his name to Paul to reflect his new persona, and began travelling, preaacing and writing. Author of much of the New Testament of the Sacred Scriptures. He was martyred in Rome.
