Let us pray.

Glorious Saint Paul, through the blinding light of Christ, you were converted from being a persecutor of the Christian name to being its most zealous apostle.

To make Jesus, our Divine Savior, known to the uttermost parts of the earth, you suffered prison, scourgings, stonings, shipwreck, and all manner of persecutions and shed the last drop of your blood.

Obtain for us the grace to accept the infirmities, sufferings, and misfortunes of this life as favors of the divine mercy. So may we never grow weary of the trials of our exile, but rather show ourselves ever more faithful and fervent.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen
