Heissoappealingbecauseheisso human.He,likeothermen,knew whattemptationis;hehadtastedit. Hefeltinhimselfthedragof'fallen naturetowardssin,andknewwhat wretchednesswouldbehisbutforthe graceofGod:"WhatIwishIperform not,butwhatIhatetodo. UnhappymanthatIam!Whowilldelivermefromthebodyofthisdeath? ThanksbetoGodthroughourLord JesusChrist!"

St.PaultellstheCorinthians(withoutmentioningitsprecisenature)ofa specialtemptation,overandabovethe ordinarysinfultrendoftheflesh "Therewasgivenme,"hesays,"a thorninmyflesh,anangelofSatanto buffetme.AboutthisdidIbeseech

theLordthatitmightdepartfromme. Andhehathsaidtome,'Mygraceis sufficientforthee,forstrengthismade perfectininfirmity.'"

St.Paulthereforeknewtemptation, knewtoothathiswatchagainstit mustbeunremitting.Hiscareof others'soulsmustnotlullhimintoa specioussecurity.Hewasfearfullest hebecome,asitwere,asignpostpointingheaventoothers,andnotgetting therehimself.So,totheendofhis life,hemortifiedhisbody:"Ibruise mybodyandbringitintobondage, lesthaplyafterbeingheraldtootherI myselfbecomedisqualified."(Toappreciatethefullimportofthesewords oneneedstorecallthatintheIsthmiangamestowhichSt.Paul,inthe context,isreferring,the'herald'was akindofreferee,amostimportant man.Furtheroneneedstoknow thatatthetimehewaswritingthe

ItistheroadtoDamascus,the blindinglight,thevoice:

"Saul,Saul,whydostthoupersecute Me?"

"Whoarethou,Lord?" "IamJesus,whomthoudostpersecute."

ThosewordschangedPaul'slife: theygaveitaneworientation.He hadflatteredhimselfthathehunted downonlyafewindividualsofahatefulsect.Nowhesuddenlyrealises thatinpersecutingthemheispersecutingthatChristwhohaddiedand lefttheearth.Inthosewordsspoken byChrist,Paulgainsawholetheology, getstheinspirationforhislifeand mission.Hecomestounderstand themysteryoftheMysticalBodyof Christ.Henceforthhislifehasbut oneaim-thebuildingup,inhimself andinothers,ofthebodyofChristSt.Paulwasamandominatedby onemaster-passion;hehadonegoalChrist,thelodestarofhislife.Thus, astheyearsmarchedby,hecouldproclaimtriumphantly: "Withme,toliveisChristandto dieisgain."
