About this episode

The episode reflects on the transformative experience of Paul the Apostle and the guiding providence of God in our lives.

Consider the turning of Paul the Apostle on the road to Damascus, as told in the Acts of the Apostles. Here was a man set firmly against the Church, his course decided, his purpose clear—yet in a moment, the very current of his life was seized and redirected by a higher hand. What seemed fixed proved fluid; what appeared hostile became chosen. If such a transformation can stand at the heart of history, then history itself is not abandoned to chaos but guided by a providence wiser than our fears. The same Father who met Saul in his blindness sees beyond our present uncertainties. Therefore, we need not tremble before the future, as though it were an unwatched road; it is already known, already held, and—mysteriously, but surely—already being shaped toward His good purposes. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian’s homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.
