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.
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.

The Cosmic Christ
This month, in celebration of the Year of St Paul, Bible Alive wishes to contemplate the face and mystery of Jesus Christ through the eyes and writings of St Paul.
Prison
Jesus was a prisoner. So too was St John the Baptist, St Peter and St Paul. Jesus identified with prisoners, teaching that to visit one was to visit him (he did not make a distinction between whether they were guilty or not.
Church, Renewal and the Bible
A Pilgrim's Resource
For many years now Bible Alive has published a Prayer Diary which has become for thousands of people a vital resource on their Christian journey – a pilgrim’s resource, if you like.
Our Bible Alive Liturgical Diary offers a rich range of features which are designed to help us in our daily walk with the Lord:
• All of the Daily and Sunday Mass Readings
• Feasts and Solemnities
• 2009 Page per Month Calendar
• Daily Vestment Colours
• Quotes from the Early and Late Church Fathers, Saints and Heroes of Faith
• Cycle of Prayer
• Psalter Weeks
• Week to View Diary
In addition to all of the above, many have given us feedback over the years that they use the Bible Alive Liturgical Diary as a spiritual journal, in which they record their daily walk with the Lord. Such a record or note does not need to be long and copious, gradually turning the daily exercise into a burden or chore. Our readers tell us that what they enjoy about the Diary is that it enables them to make a brief comment/reflection/thought – a daily task that can be done quickly at the end of a busy day.
