    Although the exact date of his birth is unknown, he was active as a missionary in the 40s and 50s of the 1st century ce. From this it may be inferred that he was born about the same time as Jesus (c. 4 bce) or a little later. He was converted to faith in Jesus Christ about 33 ce, and he died, probably in Rome, circa 62–64 ce.

    On January 25, the faithful celebrate the Conversion of Saint Paul, one of the great events of the early Church. Saul, a student of the great Pharisee rabbi Gamaliel, had persecuted Christians, but was suddenly converted on the road to Damascus when our Lord appeared to him in His resurrected glory (Acts 9:1-9).
    Before his conversion, Paul was known as Saul and was "a Pharisee of Pharisees ", who "intensely persecuted" the followers of Jesus. Paul describes his life before conversion in his Epistle to the Galatians : For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.
    Paul's conversion is the subject of the medieval play The Digby Conversion of Saint Paul . The conversion of Paul is the main term of argument of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy 's oratorio Paulus (St. Paul), MWV A 14 / Op. 36] (1833–36). It is also subject of the choral motet Saule, Saule, quid me persequeris by Giaches de Wert (1535–1596).
    Saint Paul must be a model for each of us. As we ponder his conversion today, think about your own conversion. If you are not as zealous for God as was Saint Paul, work to change that. You are just as capable of living a radical Christian life as was Saint Paul. Allow God to fill you with zeal so that God may use you in glorious ways.
