"The priest must never think that his own preaching and zeal won the convert. Lydia listened to Paul, but the Scripture says, 'and the Lord opened her heart so that she was attentive to Paul's preaching' (Acts 16:15). Here was a woman already religious, described as a woman of prayer; yet her mind needed the tuition of the Holy Spirit in order to understand what she had heard. Incidentally, Lydia was the first convert in Europe, and it was from her house that the evangelization of Europe began."
