We had our Bible Study last night and our topic was the conversion of Paul the apostle, Acts 9: verses 1-21, the gospel reading for the coming Sunday, January 25. We are guided spiritually by a Claretian priest during our weekly meetings in our Bible study.
Saint Paul the Apostle was formerly Saul, a soldier who had been persecuting Christians after Jesus died. He became blind one day after hearing the voice of Jesus. He was cured by Ananias, a disciple in Damascus, after three days. Jesus appeared in a vision to Ananias telling him to look for the blinded Saul. Jesus said that he will baptize him as Paul, whom he chooses to spread His Word to the Pagans. After being baptized as Paul, he was able to see and was filled with the Holy Spirit which guided him in spreading the Good News of Salvation.
