Friday of the Second Week in Ordinary Time
Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul, Apostle
Reading and Reflection
Tonight at dinner my husband shocked me by saying, "The peas were good." I struggle to get green vegetables into him and he usually makes fun of peas whenever I serve them because I end up eating them all myself. He is housebound and eating a lot right now and so he tried them and they weren't so bad. It was a good reminder to me that people can change and I don't always believe that they can.
Saul became Paul. Not just an
apathetic, non-believer, but a staunch opponent of Christians,
completely changed and became a great leader. Let us all
think of the people who we have doubted will ever be faith-filled, and
pray for them right now. They can change - and so can we.
There are areas of our lives that we haven't turned over to God, but we
can. Our faith will beget others faith. Let us pray,
"Lord, help our unbelief and the unbelief of the people you bring into
our lives."
