Ananias and Paul
I am at a keynote at the National Religious Vocation Conference. Father Donald Senior, CP, is discussing the life and teaching of the great apostle Paul. He is looking at the deep structure of Paul’s writings and life and placing the life and ministry of a vocation minister in light of Paul.
He mentioned the role of Ananias in Paul’s life as someone who encouraged Paul in finding his call. (See Acts of the Apostles 9 for the story.) Ananias gave Paul the space he needed to heal after his conversion from tormenter to “chosen vessel”. Ananias guided Paul to embrace God’s call, and he sent Paul out to proclaim the Good News and live out his vocation.
Who are the Ananias’s in your life? How can you be an Ananias to someone?

Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati is my Ananias.
Thank God he showed me the Dominican Laity!!
Margaret, my IHM Sister whom I met in Toronto while studying theology, is my Ananias.
I’d have to say in my life the role is shared between my parents and my husband Greg, who have encouraged and supported me in everything I’ve ever done. They have always had confidence in me, even when I didn’t have it in myself, and have picked me up when I felt like quitting.
