Saint Paul was one of the most prominent early Christian saints. Though unimpressive physically and not a great speaker, his writings and teachings greatly influenced the growth of the Church. The story of his conversion on the road to Damascus, when he encountered a vision of Jesus and was blinded for three days, inspired the author from a young age. Paul chose to follow Jesus despite knowing he would face persecution. He remained patient and faithful while imprisoned, preaching the gospel. Paul loved to travel not for himself but to spread the teachings of Christ ceaselessly. His favorite teaching was to love your neighbor as yourself.

Saint Paul was one of the most prominent saints of all time.
He was not physically impressive,
nor was he a very good speaker. His writings and teachings have greatly influenced the growth and development of the Church since then. When I was I child, I love to watch Superbook and one of the names that stays on my mind was the name “Pablo.” So, when I was 15, I started to do some research about him even the other saints. All of their stories are inspiring but I was captivated to the story of Paul, on how he chose to follow to the vision Jesus showed him. He was on the road of Damascus to pursue his persecutions when Jesus showed him a powerful vision and a bright light he fell helplessly on the ground. A voice asked, “Saul, Saul, why persecutes thou me?” In response, Saul asked two questions: “Who art thou, Lord?” and “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?” (Acts 9:4–6.) The Christ identified Himself as “Jesus whom thou persecute.” (Acts 9:5) He was blinded for 3 days. No doubt, he immediately decided to convert to Christianity and was baptized by Ananias, a servant of Jesus. Also, he chose to follow Jesus, knowing there will be a lot of persecutions. Other than deciding on following Jesus in the middle of the road. Paul was also patient and faithful to the Lord. He was imprisoned for a long time and in different countries but he was on fire to preach the teachings of the Lord even he was on prison. Paul also loves to travel. Not to travel for himself but to preach ceaselessly. He doesn’t care on people who hates him or people judging him. What important for him is for people to know the truth and to make them realize that there is light in darkness. Jews, in particular, hated his preaching as they saw him convert people to Christianity from Judaism. My favorite teachings of him was "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Every time I am angry or have a resentment to others. I just tell myself to love others as much as I love myself. I have a huge admiration for Saint Paul. I commend his courage, honesty, strength of faith, and deep testimony. I love his teachings and find them equally applicable to the people of today. He was specially chosen, a true witness of the resurrected Christ. Paul never met Jesus, but he was on fire to deliver his messages across the world. He was blessed by the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul proclaimed the truth boldly and frankly If we follow Saint Paul’s advices and teachings we cannot go astray. Paul is among the most famous, intelligent and influential of the apostles. His story shall serve as an inspiration to all of us, to follow what God wants us to do and to be. He is my example of commitment and willingness to die for Jesus Christ.
