Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, Apostle
A CHANGED MAN
For you will be his witness before all to what you have seen and heard. – Acts 22:15
I have a friend who was a famous movie magazine reporter and TV host back in the 1980s. Back then, he was a mean movie reporter.
Every time he gossiped about the lives of famous celebrities, he made sure that his readers and viewers believed every word that he wrote in the magazine or said in the talk shows. He built up people’s images but he also ruined some of them. That’s how he persecuted people during those days.
But one day, God spoke to his heart and made him realize all the malicious things he had committed in the past. He made an amazing 180-degree turn.
Today, he is a totally changed man. He gives spiritual talks in big prayer gatherings here and abroad. He spreads the Good News and the love of Jesus. He is now a preacher and a servant of God. He also hosts a weekly spiritual radio program at a Catholic radio network where he featured the story of how my wife and I were converted to the Lord. I was so amazed at how God had changed his life that I committed to help him in his crusade for the conversion of others by using my story.Monty Mendigoria (montymendigoria@yahoo.com)
Reflection: Find hope in Christ Jesus, and the moment you hear His voice, harden not your heart.
Lord, let me be an instrument of Your love and mercy. May Your name be glorified in everything I do.
St. Peter Thomas, pray for us.
