Year of Saint Paul
Pope Benedict XVI has invited the whole Church to celebrate the 2000th anniversary of the birth of Saint Paul whose conversion on the road to Damascus is one of the key events in the development of the early Church. He became the great apostle of the Gentiles. Saint Paul's missionary journeys are recorded in the Acts of the Apostles and his letters are the most numerous of the apostolic letters of the new Testament. This year dedicated to St. Paul began on the Feast of St. Peter and Paul. We are invited to reflect anew on the preaching and example of his faith in Christ.Click here for a virtual tour of the Basilica of St. Paul-outside-the-Walls in Rome.

St. Paul: Speed or Velocity?

What is the difference between speed and velocity? …..Well, speed is analogue, so something can be going at the same speed in any direction. Velocity is a vector, so something going at x mph west will cancel out something going at -x mph (east). Two cars travelling in opposite directions can have the same speed, but their net velocity will cancel each other out. I like to see the character of Paul in these terms..............
