Lent - Season of Conversion

There are some amazing things to learn from the conversion of St Paul on the road to Damascus. The background for this crucial turning point in the apostle’s life is that Paul, then named Saul, was a young Jewish rabbi, in fact a zealous Pharisee, whose zeal led him to believe that the followers of ‘The Way’, as the apostles and the earliest converts to Christ were called, were a dangerous heresy within Judaism and needed to be stamped out. Saul was an approving witness to the death of the earliest martyr, Stephen. Stephen had proclaimed that he saw heaven opened and Jesus in glory at the right hand of the Father. Perhaps it was this very proclamation that sowed the seed of the Gospel message in Saul’s mind and began the process that was to culminate on the Damascus road.

Sister Wendy Becket

This month we are most grateful to the art historian Sr Wendy Beckett for helping us appreciate more fully the conversion of St Paul in the work of three great artists: Caravaggio, Pieter Bruegel the Elder and Francesco Parmigianino. The conversion of St Paul on the road to Damascus was the major turning point in his life because his encounter with the Living Christ changed his life forever. We invite you to contemplate and pray on the paintings and be guided by the insight and wisdom of Sr Wendy as she leads us in a Lenten reflection on the meaning not only of St Paul’s conversion but of our own call to be always seeking ongoing and life-long conversion to Christ.

A Gospel New Year

Every New Year is a special time, inviting us to look back on the year that has gone and look forward to the year that is to come. The new gives way to the old, the relentless passage of time closes the door on one chapter and opens gently upon another. The New Year ushers in an exciting sense of renewal, recommitment and new horizons as resolutions are made and new opportunities are considered. It is a time that lends itself readily to examination, reflection and prayer.
