St Paul the Apostle - Our Patron Saint

Image of St Paul Sometimes we easily forget how powerful the saving grace of Jesus, the Risen Christ, can truly be. St. Paul's story is an example of this miraculous power, especially when we recount his life as once of violence and persecution of others, to becoming a true Apostle of Jesus, helping those in need and passing on the Word of the Lord. Is it really possible that one can change their ways for good?
