The Year of St. Paul Prayer Card

"It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me."-- Galatians 2:20

Periodically, the Church sets aside an entire year to encourage all of us to focus on some particular and important aspect of our faith. This year, we are given an opportunity to honor one of the great saints and founders of the early Church -- the Apostle Paul.

In order to commemorate the 2000th anniversary of his birth, Christians all over the world will celebrate "The Year of St. Paul" from June 28, 2008, to June 29, 2009.

Use this beautiful prayer card to help you start each day with a prayer to St. Paul. Keep it in your purse, pocket, or on your night stand. Catechists can give one to each of their students when they explain the Year of St. Paul. Pastors can put them in the back of their churches or insert them in their bulletins.

"The success of his apostolate depended above all on his personal involvement in proclaiming the Gospel with total dedication to Christ; a dedication that feared neither risk, difficulty, nor persecution." -- Pope Benedict XVI
