The Conversion of St. Paul

Today is the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. In honor of this day, here is a hymn from Vespers of the feast.

O thou great Doctor, Paul, we here beseech of thee
Lead thou our spirits up to heavenly mystery,
Till ends the partial knowledge that to us is given
While here below, and we receive the fuller light in heaven.

May everlasting honor, power and glory be
And jubilation, to the Holy Trinity,
The One God, ever ruling all things mightily,
Throughout all endless ages of eternity. Amen.

Rejoice, O Virgin Mother of God, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, for thou hast born the Savior of our souls.
