Prayer for the Year of St. Paul

Glorious Saint Paul,
Most zealous apostle,
Martyr for the love of Christ,
Give us a deep faith,
A steadfast hope,
A burning love for our Lord,
So that we can proclaim with you,
'It is no longer I who live,
But Christ who lives in me.'

Help us to become apostles,
Serving the Church with a pure heart,
Witnesses to her truth and beauty
Amidst the darkness of our days.
With you we praise God our Father:
'To him be the glory, in the Church
And in Christ,
Now and forever.'

Amen.
