Daily Quotes from the Mystics
"Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!"
(Romans 11:33)

St. Paul the Apostle (c. 5–67 AD), originally known as Saul of Tarsus, was a pivotal figure in the early Christian Church and one of its most influential missionaries and theologians. Born a Roman citizen in Tarsus (modern-day Turkey) to a Jewish family, Paul was initially a zealous persecutor of Christians. His life transformed dramatically after a profound spiritual encounter with the risen Christ on the road to Damascus, an event that led to his conversion and unwavering dedication to spreading the Gospel.

Paul embarked on several missionary journeys across the Roman Empire, establishing churches and fostering the spread of Christianity among Jews and Gentiles alike. His letters, or epistles, form a significant portion of the New Testament, offering profound theological insights into grace, faith, salvation, and the mystical union of believers with Christ. Known for his eloquence, courage, and enduring impact, Paul was martyred in Rome, where he is believed to have been beheaded under Emperor Nero’s reign. His teachings continue to shape Christian thought and spirituality to this day.
