THE CONVERSION OF ST. PAUL.

Saul the Strong Persecutor of Christians became St. Paul the Strong Defender of Christian Faith {Religion}

Saul Persecuted Christians, Thinking he was Serving God by Killing Believers. Sauls Efforts for Righteous Living Led him to Hurt Others & Kill Others. 

Saul stood as a Witness (Supporting the Persecution) the death of St. Stephen but St. Stephens Prayed to God to Forgive all those who were Killing him.

 [They] threw him {St. Stephen} out of the city, and stoned him. The Witnesses left their cloaks in the care of a young man named Saul. They kept on stoning Stephen as he called out to the Lord, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”  He knelt down and cried out in a loud voice, “Lord! Do not remember this sin against them!” He said this and died. And Saul Approved of his Murder. Acts 7:54-60, Acts 8

It was St. Stephens Prayer that Lead to the Conversion of St. Paul.

THE CONVERSION OF ST. PAUL.

He (Saul) fell to the ground and heard a Voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul! Why do you Persecute me?” “Who are you, Lord?” he asked.

“I am Jesus, whom you Persecute,” the Voice said. “But get up and go into the city, where you will be told what you must do.” Acts 9

Let us also Pray like St. Stephen for Jesus Divine Mercy to be Showered upon All the Ignorant who in their Effort to Please God, To Live Righteously End Up Only Hurting Others..... Judging Others.... and Killing Others buy their Words & Action.

Pope Francis: "Paul is a Nuisance: And Paul, in Preaching of the Lord, was a Nuisance. He was not a man of Compromise.
