Collect

Almighty God, who through the preaching of your apostle Paul caused the light of the gospel to shine throughout the world, and who by your word called prophets and apostles from unlikely places to proclaim your saving power among the nations, grant that we, who praise you for his wonderful conversion, may faithfully receive and follow the truth which he proclaimed, surrendering ourselves as he did to your call, that we too may be transformed by your grace, sent to bear your name, and made worthy of the promises of your Kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
