Publisher's Note

Don’t miss out on the Jubilee Year of St. Paul. The last apostle has always been a favorite of mine. Paul met Christ personally, and then went to great lengths to bring his Good News to the world. He had a tireless spirit, and felt that interior drive to bring the word of God everywhere.

Go to Vatican.va to find the excellent materials the Church has offered to get to know this passionate lover of Christ better. Don’t fall into the common trap of thinking: “He was exceptional, and I’m not, so …”

He was an example of what every Christian should become: a sinner who let himself be transformed by the power of the resurrection into an ardent apostle, convinced for life of the cause of Christ.
