Dear Father,

Thank you for calling Saul of Tarsus to be your apostle to the
non-Jews, and for making him known to us with his new name, Paul.
Thank you for revealing to him that righteousness comes by your
grace through faith without works of law and that we who are not
Jews can become members of the household of faith without assuming
the yoke of the law.

Thank you for the integrity and courage Paul showed in defending
this position in the early church. Thank you for his desire for
unity with those who were apostles before him. Thank you also that
he did not give in to those who wanted to limit the freedom of
believers.

Thank you that Peter, James, John, and the other apostles gave
Paul and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that each should
pursue his appointed missions - Paul and Barnabas to non-Jews, the
others to the Jews. Thank you that they agreed to remember and help
the poor.

In the name of Jesus I give thanks. Amen.
