Holy Father To Proclaim a Year Dedicated to St. Paul

VATICAN CITY, JUN 21, 2007 (VIS) – The Office of Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff today announced that at 5.30 p.m. on June 28, eve of the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, Apostles, Benedict XVI will preside at the celebration of first Vespers in the basilica of St. Paul’s Outside-the-Walls.

During the ceremony, the Pope will proclaim a year especially dedicated to St. Paul, to mark the 2000th anniversary of the birth of the “Apostle of the Gentiles.”

If that’s not a sign from God encouraging me in my journey towards the Daughters of St. Paul, then I don’t know what is. Lord, you are too good.

I hope that EWTN will cover this event. I want to make it a special day. St. Paul is becoming a real spiritual father to me.

Pray to the Holy Spirit for increased courage among today’s youth.
