Today's 1st reading (Acts 9:1-20) tells of Saul on the road to Damascus where he encounters a vision of the Risen Lord which leaves him temproarily blind and a forever changed man. Saul was an ardent Jew and a fervant persecutor of Christians. One thing can be said for Saul - he never did anything halfway. After his conversion experience, he would take the name "Paul" and become one of Christianity's greatest champions.
To be transformed, however, he had to face the darkness. As do we. Change is never easy and is often brought about by traumatic experiences. If we can hold on through the darkness, we can be sure there is a brighter tomorrow on the other side.
