The mission entrusted to St Paul through his trust in the revelations made to him was carried out with a total obedience to the Will of God. His message was that God had made clear to all humanity that His was the Power and the Glory; that the Son Jesus had risen to a new life from being dead to bring a reconciliation with God for all nations not only the Chosen People. Paul's message was the resurrection that also awaits us all if we too can commit to God. 

The revelations made to Paul are to be found in his letters; the history of Jesus is recorded by the Evangelists in the New Testament and today we see Jesus facing up to the problems presented to his teaching by our lack of commitment. We have listened to his words, observed his way of life, heard of his miracles but still demand a "sign". Thus we refuse God's gift to us of freedom to choose the holy way and reject the Father of Lies. The Ninevites understood and trusted Jonah. Why do we falter in our belief in Jesus and the Way that he shows to us?

Dear Lord, let me be true to my own words and let me be open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit who is the essence of the Love that is the Holy Trinity.
