    END/BEGIN

    Ponder the face of Saul – the surroundings of his body.  Imagine the scene of Saul as Jesus violently interrupts his day, his life-mission, his entire world.

    Feel Saul’s world as it goes dark. 

    It is the end of Saul.

    John 9: Jesus then said, “I came into the world to bring everything into the clear light of day, making all the distinctions clear, so that those who have never seen will see, and those who have made a great pretense of seeing will be exposed as blind.”  Some Pharisees overheard him and said, “Does that mean you’re calling us blind?” 

    In the ending of Saul – in his despair he has no pride.  In his blindness he can no longer preserve his own way. 

    It is the end of Saul.

    Awakened now, Paul’s life is illuminated to what was meant to be.

    Open eyes make us Open to God.
