Speaker Notes
The Collect for the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul
O God, by the preaching of your apostle St. Paul, you have caused the light of the Gospel to shine throughout the world: Grant, we pray, that we, having his wonderful conversion in rememberance, may show ourselves thankful to you by following his holy teaching; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Acts 22:6-9
6 “About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. 7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’
8 “‘Who are you, Lord?’ I asked.
“ ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ he replied. 9 My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to me.
