Today Cardinal Dolan talks about The Godfather and the feast of the conversion of Saint Paul. What could they have in common, you ask? A thunderbolt. 

Do you remember the scene in the movie when Michael Corleone was in exile in Italy and sees his future wife?

His bodyguard says he was hit by a thunderbolt in that moment. The same thing happened to Saul. He was hit by that thunderbolt of love, turned his life upside down for Jesus, and became Paul, the Apostle.
