Entrance Antiphon and Collect
Antiphon
2 Tm 1: 12; 4: 8
I know the one whom I have believed
and I am sure that he, the just judge, the mighty,
will keep safe what is my due until that day.
The Gloria in excelsis (Glory to God in the highest) is said.
Collect
O God, who taught the whole world
through the preaching of the blessed Apostle Paul,
draw us, we pray, nearer to you
through the example of him whose conversion we celebrate today,
and so make us witnesses to your truth in the world.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
