What does it mean to live in Christ? That is a question the answer to which I found fulfilled in the readings of Sunday yesterday.
In the book of Acts, we can witness God's grace transforming Paul, previously known as Saul. Saul was a persecutor of the Church and approved the stoning of St. Stephen, traditionally venerated as the protomartyr: the first martyr of Christianity.
Saul's mission was to destroy the Church, and he did so by dragging out men and women and handing them to the authorities. However, after his encounter with Jesus, Paul's zeal for Jesus made him a target of persecution and led to his eventual killing.
