God's Ways Outdo Ours

We celebrate the Conversion of St. Paul today, a man with a mission to eliminate the "New Way", the followers of Jesus.  A man staunch in his beliefs, a man of energy and determination, a man unstoppable. Yet, the man chosen by God to use his amazing gifts to Spread the New Way by his preaching, teaching and letters; an evangelizer whose impact is still felt today; a man who serves as a role model for us who are also called to evangelize, but who might think that we can't because we are not Paul.  We need to be reminded by the conversion of Paul, that God can turn  things upside down, inside out and make changes in us that we never dreamed of.  And it may be a simple as our presence.
At the March for life hundreds of thousands were simply present; one young man, part of a large contingent from a Catholic High School in Wichita, Kansas, a faith-filled athlete, spent 24 hours on a bus with two other bus-loads of students, giving up classes which need to be made up, simply to walk and show his support for life.  His presence gave hope and was powerful as was the president's speech, that things can change, and will change, because God is in charge, and his ways are not our ways.
