CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XIV traveled across Rome on May 20 to the basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, to pray at the tomb of the apostle.
In remarks during a brief prayer service at the basilica, the Pope reflected on the life of St. Paul and his remarkable conversion. He cited the words of St. Augustine: “How can we choose, unless we have first been chosen? We cannot love, unless someone has loved us first.”
