39. St. Paul Outside the Walls

At the magnificent Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, we conclude this pilgrimage in the place where Paul’s tomb rests, a powerful testament to his enduring mission. This sacred site, built over his burial place, stands as a beacon of the faith he so tirelessly proclaimed, even to the heart of the Roman Empire. As we reflect on Paul’s journey—from persecutor to apostle, from missionary to martyr—we are reminded that his message of hope, grace, and perseverance continues to shape the Church today. His life was not merely a story of suffering, but of victory in Christ, inspiring us to carry forward the mission of the Gospel with the same passion and conviction.
