What was the miracle of St. Paul?

The miracle most famously associated with St. Paul concerns his conversion to Christianity. While traveling on the road to Damascus to persecute Christians, he had a vision that changed his life. According to Galatians 1:16, God revealed his Son to him. More specifically, Paul states that he saw the Lord (1 Corinthians 9:1), though Acts claims that he saw a blinding bright light. The account in Acts also states that he remained blind for three days, until he was taken to a disciple named Ananias, who laid hands upon him and called down the Holy Spirit. Immediately, Paul regained his sight, and he was baptized.
