• The objective of the Pauline Year is one of deep reflection and of evangelization. That is, in addition to its being a perfect time to awaken knowledge of the person and works of "the Apostle to the Gentiles," it is also an opportunity for all believers and men of good will to reflect more deeply on St. Paul’s inspired message on life in Christ, the message of salvation. It is a time to allow ourselves to be formed by God and His grace, to make our faith, hope, and charity (without forgetting its social dimension of solidarity) blossom in a world that is so in need of virtues.
