They traveled through the Phrygian and Galatian territory because they had been prevented by the holy Spirit from preaching the message in the province of Asia. When they came to Mysia, they tried to go on into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them, so they crossed through Mysia and came down to Troas. (Acts 16:6-8) NABRE)
Paul and Timothy travelled through Asia Minor (modern day Turkey) encouraging the new Gentile Christian believers with word from the apostles and elders in Jerusalem. Luke tells us that as they travelled, they were guided by the holy Spirit of Jesus.
Holy Spirit, you who pointed out the way for your disciples to announce the Gospel, we pray to you: As in the times of the apostles, guide today's messengers of the Good News.*
Today, I will pray for the guidance of the Spirit of Jesus.
Saint Joan of Arc, patron of France and military members, pray for us.
