Forgive me Lord for times I lashed out and wagged my tongue at my sisters and brothers in You, out of anger or personal frustration. For failing to see that when I persecute them, I persecute You as well; for we are one body.
By St Paul’s example let me constantly seek a conversion of heart, to be transformed by Your love. So that my eyes and heart are opened to Your Will for me. Let me bring Your peace, love, hope and message of salvation to all. In Your most precious name Jesus. Amen

The Conversion of Saint Paul, Apostle – Feast
FIRST READING
Acts 22:3–16
GOSPEL
Mark 16:15–18
Jesus appeared to the Eleven and said to them:
“Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons, they will speak new languages. They will pick up serpents with their hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
