Paul is the most faithful interpreter

of the Gospel, presenting it to all humanity, and applying it in practical terms to individual, family and social necessities.
Blessed James Alberione

It is not sufficient to observe

that Paul is concerned for the community as distinct from the individual, whether that community be described as the Church, Israel, or the entirety of humankind. Paul's theological horizon is nothing less than the cosmos itself which is in need of deliverance ...

St. Paul's conversion

begins in humility. He turns to God in his nothingness: "What do you want me to do?" Prayer for all humility is the nourishment and root of his conversion; persevering humility is what completes it.

Blessed Timothy Giaccardo

When one says only "the Apostle"

it is understood as referring to St. Paul, so high above the ordinary is he exalted.

Blessed James Alberione

One does not have the impression

that the pre-Damascus Paul was a man of played a conscience. Paradoxically, Paul becomes fully aware that he was ' in Adam' (a sinner subject to death) only when he became a man 'in Christ"

Keep before you, also,

the example of St. Paul working so hard and suffering so much in the exercise of his mission. In the face of everything, he remained tireless, up to the time when he declared: ‘I have finished my course.’

Bl. James Alberione

The Pauline year

constitutes a further incentive to deepen the knowledge of St. Paul and assimilate his apostolic ardor.

Rev. S. Sassi
Superior General of the Society of St. Paul
(letter to Benedict XVI)

Paul the apostle of Christ

sought to conform his thinking and behavior according to the example of Christ. Indeed, this will become his major defense to those who dismiss his ministry as inferior and weak.

Paul was the singer of God,

the proclaim our of the glory of God, the promoter of the worship of God, the one set apart by God, the prisoner for Christ who lived in Christ.

Blessed James Alberione

"God's power rests on my weakness."

In this affirmation Paul formulates the great law of the apostolate: the absolute primacy of God over the human instrument.

Renato Perino

Paul was the true "man of God":

A man filled to an exceptional degree with grace, a man to whom the things of God were particularly entrusted, a man especially obligated to God, a man who could say "His grace in me has not been fruitless."

Blessed James Alberione
