The Conversion of St Paul, apostle - Feast
St.Paul apostle Conversion |
It is the Conversion of Paul Feast and the final day of the Octave of Christian Unity.
The climax is the celebration of Vespers ate the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls.
The Unity Week work has contributed from the WCC-World Council of Churches, the Pope and so many Churches of Dioceses and Dominations.
The leading of the theme of the Octave was presented by the Churches in Jerusalem and the Holy Land.
In Rome. prominent at present is the Session of the Commission of Dialogue between the Catholic and the Ancient Eastern Churches. This is very much to the heart of Pope Benedict as it was by Pope John Paul II.
The large panorama of Christian Unity may feel overwhelming.
To concentrate our focus the wonderful message of St. Francis reminds us. At the chapel of San Damiano in Assisi a voice from the crucifix said. “Now go, hence, Francis, and build up My house, for it is nearly falling down!” It was not the mere chapel but the entire universal Church. Like Francis we are each called to build the universal Church.
At the heart of the universal Church, quietly and silently, in the Eucharist and Communion. United in Christ we are aware of the shortcomings in build his Church.
Note Acts 9:1-22
As we listened to the First Reading Acts 9:1-22, it resounded the more ever than Francis. The encounted of St. Paul with Jesus is even more dramatic.
