St Paul - Hero of our Faith

Pope Benedict XVI, inspired by the Holy Spirit, declared a whole year to be dedicated to the great apostle St Paul.

It has been a wonderful year as we have focused on one of Christendom’s greatest saints and most effective and dynamic evangelists.

St Paul was truly a giant of faith, a man of outstanding qualities in every respect: courage, conviction, clarity, intellect, pastoral care, wisdom, stamina and perhaps most of all love for Christ.
Our hope is that readers of Bible Alive have grown in their love and appreciation of St Paul through the articles and features we have carried but also the way in which the writers of our daily reflections have sought to weave in a reference to his life and witness in their meditations for each day.

Resurrection Joy

On the Day of Pentecost St Peter was a transformed man. He was once a coward; he was once weak, fearful and inarticulate; he was once easily confused, stubborn and dull to the truths of God. On the Day of Pentecost this changed forever.

The Power of the Resurrection

St Paul considered everything as utterly meaningless and worthless compared with possessing Christ. This brilliant and supremely able man, many years after his conversion, said that more than anything else he wanted to know Christ and the power of his resurrection (Phil. 3:10). He wanted the transforming power of Jesus’ resurrection life to be ever increasing within him so that God’s grace and power would permeate his life and radiate out through him, and he would attain the very likeness of Christ himself.

Messages from Prison

One of the blessings and graces in our work with prisoners is quite simply hearing about their prison experience through their letters. Their letters are always a powerful and moving testament to God’s transforming work. The prison faith community express their faith with such sincerity and gratitude that it can only inspire and give hope. We offer you a letter we received recently which wonderfully captures one prisoner’s journey of faith and, in doing this, expresses the faith of so many prisoners.

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.

Pope Benedict on Church Unity

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is an important event in the life of the Church. There are two very important ideas at the heart of this week and they are love and prayer. Love and prayer have to be at the heart of all our efforts and endeavours as we strive to be faithful to Jesus’ prayer ‘that they may be one even as we are one’ (John 17:22). Pope Benedict himself is a wonderful example of this ‘spiritual ecumenism’ rooted in love and prayer and we sit at his feet and learn from him. We invite you to pray on his words because they will lead you to pray more earnestly for unity and understand it as the gift of the Holy Spirit that it is.

Church, Renewal and the Bible

This month bishops from around the world convene in Rome for a synod to discuss the overarching theme of the Word of God in the life and mission of the Church. This is a theme very dear to our hearts at Bible Alive. Our daily reflections are rooted and grounded in the liturgical rhythm of the Church and what is beautiful about following the liturgical cycle in this way is that wherever you are in the world (accounting, of course, for national and local feast days) the same readings from the Bible are proclaimed in the Liturgy of the Word. We believe that there can be ‘no authentic renewal of the Church without a return to the biblical sources. The Scriptures ‘are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus’ (2 Tim. 3:15). The Word of God is central to the renewal of the liturgy and central to the whole life of faith. Access to the Bible is for all the faithful.’
