The church commemorates the conversion of Saint Paul on January 25. We know the repentance of Saul, the zealous jew who defended his faith and his religion and persecuted the Christians. When he repented, he is the visible expression of Christ, whom he had so zealously persecuted. It is the true conversion, he completely changed his life: he denied everything he was before and redeemed himself even more. God changed Saul's heart, he even changed his name: he became Paul. It is our very being that we have to shape to God's liking.

"Go into all the world, preach the gospel to the whole creation", said Jesus. "All creation need Salvation", said Saint Paul in his letter to the Romans 8, 19-24.

We proclaim first the Gospel, we teach it and it is only those who believe that we baptize and no the reverse. It is the faith who validate the baptism and the other sacraments. the signs, which follow those who believe, that Jesus gave at that, are different today. God's grace manifests in different ways

Let's pray so that sinners repent and let's pray so that the proclamation of the Gospel reaches all creation
