Collect for the Conversion of St Paul the Apostle

1. 
   O God, by the preaching of your apostle Paul you have caused the light of the Gospel to shine throughout the world: Grant, we pray, that we, having his wonderful conversion in remembrance, may show ourselves thankful to you by following his holy teaching; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
   
   You probably don't need to read about Paul to know who he is, but if you would like to read some brief scholarly thought on his letters, here's a link to Satucket's page.
