Friends, new this year on the Order's site is the homily of Chrysostom on the reading from Matthew xix 27 at the link, and also the remarkable painting from the Cerasi Chapel, Santa Maria del Popola, Rome. Note that Saul is armed and wears body armor. The sword's hilt and blade are like that of a gladius and amour and dress like that of Rome. We remember that at this time Saul was acting in the role of a militant agent of the Chief Priests.
The Lord in glorious in his saints, O come let us adore him.

Homily of Chrsystom on Matthew XIX. 27
O GOD, who, through the preaching of the blessed Apostle Saint Paul, hast caused the light of the Gospel to shine throughout the world; Grant, we beseech thee, that we, having his wonderful conversion in remembrance, may show forth our thankfulness unto thee for the same, by following the holy doctrine which he taught; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
