The conversion of St. Paul reveals how God’s grace can transform our lives. Once an enemy of the Christian faith, Paul went on to become one of its greatest champions, and his New Testament letters continue to inspire disciples today.
Jesus empowers and sends out the Apostles to continue his ministry. What’s more, the Lord’s compassion for those in need sets the context for how we serve one another in his name.
They are two of the brightest lights in the communion of Saints, yet these very sinful, fallible men can inspire us to follow their example as we turn away from our past sins and embrace a future guided by the grace of Jesus Christ.
The Apostles fill the vacancy caused by Judas and apply criteria and prayer to discern who will join their ranks. Their choice helps us understand how God chooses us for specific tasks today.
Following Stephen’s death the Church faces persecution and experiences powerful growth. Philip travels to Samaria and performs mighty deeds in the name of Jesus Christ.

Confronted by the jealousy of the high priests and the Sadducees, the Apostles continue to remain steadfast in their proclamation of the Good News of Jesus.
St. John reveals in his First Letter how as a witness to the Good News of Jesus he joyfully shares this message of hope. May we be inspired to live our faith in Christ with the same intensity.
