God in his mercy deprived him of sight

because of his previous shortsightedness, in order to improve his subsequent vision.

St. John Chrysostom

Paul, most humble himself

and in all that concerned him, was likewise most noble and sublime in all that concerned Christ and the glory of God.


Cornelius a Lapide, SJ
The Personality of St. Paul

Paul lives the life of Christ crucified;

in Christ he dies, yearning to be dissolved and to be with Him.


Igino Giordani
St. Paul, Apostle and Martyr

I give you as a model

the charity of Paul which he showed to his new converts...

St. John Bosco

Paul was small

of body and short. He was a bit bent or bowed down. Hos face was splendid and made him look older than he really was...

Nicephorus

St. Paul was not transformed

by a thought but by an event, by the irresistible presence of the Risen One, whom he could never again doubt, so strong had been the evidence of the event, of that encounter.

Pope Benedict XVI

Let us pray

that the Lord, who made Paul see his light and hear his word and touched his heart profoundly, make us also see his light...

Pope Benedict XVI
