St. Paul, apostle to the nations and fervent evangelizer,

You who have undergone a profound transformation

Thanks to your encounter with the Risen Christ on the road to Damascus,

Intercede for us with God the Father.

Help us to open our hearts to God's grace,

To acknowledge our faults and to be sincerely converted,

As you did after your luminous encounter with the Lord.

Inspire us with your passion for the Gospel,

Your zeal for spreading the Good News,

And your steadfast love for the Church of Jesus Christ.

St. Paul, teach us to persevere in the faith,

Even in the face of trials and persecution,

And guide us along the path of holiness and divine love.

May your powerful intercession obtain for us the graces

of a life more deeply rooted in the love of God,

And a renewed commitment to serve our neighbour with charity.

Saint Paul, pray for us,

That we may follow your example

And bear witness to God's merciful love in the world.

Amen.
