Imprisoned]]beaten]]shipwrecked]]and ultimately martyred for his faith in Christ the Lord.

Few human beings have experienced such a profound walk with the Lord as St. Paul has. It was his devotion to Christ and willingness to endure any amount of suffering for the sake of His Church that inspired Pope Benedict XVI to declare the Year of Saint Paul. In a series of homilies, Pope Benedict XVI delves into the rich inheritance left to the Church by Saint Paul, exploringthetimeless story of his history, dramatic conversion, and ministry.

As he pastored fledgling churches with words of encouragement, occasional admonishment, and exquisitely profound teaching, Saint Paul continues to be a prevailing source of theological wisdom today.

"The Apostle Paul, an outstanding and almost inimitable yet stimulating figure, stands before us as an example of total dedication to the Lord and to his Church, as well as of great openness to humanity and its cultures]]" Pope Benedict XVI
