"I invite all Christians, everywhere, at this very moment, to a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ, or at least an openness to letting him encounter them; I ask all of you to do this unfailingly each day... The Lord does not disappoint those who take this risk... Now is the time to say to Jesus: 'Lord, I have let myself be deceived; in a thousand ways I have shunned your love, yet here I am once more, to renew my covenant with you. I need you. Save me once again, Lord, take me once more into your redeeming embrace'... God never tires of forgiving us; we are the ones who tire of seeking his mercy."
Pope Francis, in Evangelii Gaudium
Today, the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, I am reminded that conversion is a daily affair, a personal decision while always, always, a grace from God who is infinite mercy.
