PAULINE YEAR
Proclaimed by the Holy Father Benedict XVI
From: June 28th, 2008
To: June 29th, 2009

A Prayer to the Apostle Paul
Great Convert and apostles of the gentiles,
You became Christlike and knew only
Christ Crucified.

Though extremely learned, you relied completely on the Wisdom received from the Spirit

And taught from the abundance of your heart,

Instruct modern evangelists - those who preach Christ to others.

Let them realize that their actions speak  louder than any words they use.

Teach them to use their talents in conveying their God-given message

But to rely above all on the promptings of the Spirit.

Help us to be inspired by your Epistles

And to partake of your unconditional love for Jesus, 

So that after we have finished our course we may join you in praising Him in heaven for all eternity.

Amen
