Gracious God, we celebrate the conversion of St. Paul and pray to you: 

God, in your love, show us your favor.  

Strengthen those who have left family and the comforts of home to follow you, and give them gladness of heart. 

God, in your love, show us your favor.  

Deepen our faith, and help us encounter you in one another. 

God, in your love, show us your favor.  

Bring all people together to share at last in the inheritance won for us by Christ. 

God, in your love, show us your favor.  

Our Father . . .  

May God bless us with the graces we need to persevere in prayer, grow in wisdom, and live by faith, through Jesus our Savior. Amen.
