Saint Paul,
when Jesus called,
you answered,
and you became an Apostle,
preaching and teaching about Jesus
to the ends of the earth.
Pray for us,
that we may serve Jesus as you did,
and never be afraid or embarrassed
to speak his name.
Pray for us,
that we may welcome all people as you did,
with kindness and understanding.
Pray for us,
that Jesus may live in us
as he lived in you.
We pray in the name of Jesus the Lord.
Amen.
