The Promptings of the Spirit

Guided Meditation:

The Conversion of St. Saul to Paul (Acts 9:1–19)

Of all of Jesus' Apostles, Paul has always been my favorite.

While listening to Saints in 7 Days on the Hallow app, I found myself thinking deeply about Paul's conversion. I wondered,

What if I had been with Saul on that road to Damascus? How might I have reacted in the face of such a sudden, life-changing encounter with Jesus — startled, fearful, or unexpectedly transformed?

Those thoughts inspired this imaginative prayer, helping us enter the scene and experience the transforming power of Christ's mercy and grace.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your spiritual journey!

Keep at it! Keep praying. Love the Lord.

Peace and Grace.
