Did you know that Saint Paul was one of the Romans? He was one of the many Romans who sought out the early Christians, brought them to the authorities and threatened them with death. This is perhaps what makes Paul's story so remarkable because after he had an encounter with the risen Jesus, his heart was softened and he came to understand that the persecution he was carrying out was actually against Jesus who loved him.
Jesus also loves us and we still learn today from Saint Paul's writings about how much Jesus loves us. In today's readings, Paul reminds us that all the commandments are summed up in one: You shall love your neighbour as yourself (Rom 13:9). Let us pray today for the grace to be aware of Jesus' love for us, and let us be on the lookout today for the ways that we can love Jesus in return ... and love others as he does.
Have a great day.
