Day 8: The Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul (Western Church)

Focus today is on the word "conversion." Conversion is not a onetime event, it is something that Christians and individuals of other faith traditions strive for continuously and daily. Father Almighty, aid our ears and  heart to love You  more and more, day by day. Come into our lives with Your Brightness and Spirit.. We ask this through Jesus Christ, Our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.

The hymn above was found in John Cassian's book of prayer. He founded the Monastery of St. Victor in France ca. 415 A.D. Cassian's work profoundly affected the mindset and heart of Saint Benedict, founder of the Benedictine Religious Order.
