“Dear brothers and sisters, as in early times, today too Christ needs apostles ready to sacrifice themselves. He needs witnesses and martyrs like St. Paul.... a former violent persecutor of Christians, when he fell to the ground dazzled by the divine light on the road to Damascus, did not hesitate to change sides to the Crucified One and followed him without second thoughts. He lived and worked for Christ, for him he suffered and died. How timely his example is today... And for this very reason I am pleased to announce officially that we shall be dedicating a special Jubilee Year to the Apostle Paul from 28 June 2008 to 29 June 2009..."

- Pope Benedict XVI, June 28, 2007, First Vespers of the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul

Take a tour through the letters of St. Paul and discover the secret to his spirituality, a secret that made this former persecuter of the followers of Jesus one of his most ardent Apostles. Using the ancient practice of lectio divina, we'll move through key passages of Paul's letters to the earliest Christian communities. In discovering his message for them, we will discover a message for us.

"Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus, Who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped."
- Philippians 2:5-6
