Paul had the ability to always bounce back no matter what the circumstances. He was chased out of one place after another, but he just kept going and preaching and getting up and so Martini will tell us that "this ability to bounce back is more than human; anyone, after so many failed attempts, would be humanly unnerved. We do not possess this tirelessness; even he did not possess it. It is a manifestation of what we will call 'charity' or 'love': "Love endures all things" (1 Cor 1:3-7).
It is the love of God: "God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us" (Romans 5:5).
Tomorrow we will look at his other mode of action after his transfiguration.
