Today's Feast of the Conversion of St Paul is a great catechesis about conversion. What can we learn from this catechesis? There are three important points to this lesson.

The first one is that every conversion is a miracle and the work of God's grace in the depths of human heart. There are not we who convert to God. It is God who touches human hearts, let them hear His voice and converts people to himself. Our only, but at the same time very difficult job, is to answer to God's call. This answer usually requires radical change in our life style.

The second point of today's catechesis is that the conversion leads to discover the community of the Church. It is the Church that confirms someone's conversion and supports him on the way of faith.

And the third point shows us that to proclaim Jesus as the only Lord and Savior is the proof of real conversion. We proclaim that Jesus is the Lord by our prayer, words and actions in conformity to the Gospel.

"Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned." We hear these words of Jesus in today's Gospel. Let us pray for the grace of constant conversion of heart for all of us so that we may bring others to belief that Jesus is truly the Christ - the only Lord and Savior of mankind.
