1⃣ NOVENA IN PREPARATION FOR THE FEAST OF THE CONVERSION OF ST. PAUL
DAY 9 - JANUARY 24
The key to conversion! Keeping our focus on the Cross of Jesus Christ, for “the human heart is converted by looking upon (the Crucified) whom our sins have pierced” - (CCC 1432 cf. Jn 19:37; Zech 12:10)
PRAYER: Glorious St. Paul, your conversion is a powerful witness to the world that God loves us and does not give up on us, no matter how far we stray. Help me to cling to Christ Crucified help me to fully participate at every SACRIFICE of the Holy Mass help me to understand, that this is He who showed us the way, gave us the light to follow it in Holy Mother Church who is His bride and shows us the only truth. May every circumstance of my life be an occasion to change my way of thinking, to renounce self-will and to surrender myself to the wisdom and tenderness of Jesus Christ who is acting to make me His saint. Pray that I may love God's will and providence for me. In this confidence, I entrust to you, St. Paul, these, my intentions…

I ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
