For 24 May 2025, , based on Acts 16:1-10
Paul went on also to Derbe and to Lystra, where there was a disciple named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek. He was well spoken of by the brothers and sisters in Lystra and Iconium. Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, and he took him and had him circumcised because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. As they went from town to town, they delivered to them for observance the decisions that had been reached by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem. So the churches were strengthened in the faith and increased in numbers daily.
They went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. When they had come opposite Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them; so, passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas. During the night Paul had a vision: there stood a man of Macedonia pleading with him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” When he had seen the vision, we immediately tried to cross over to Macedonia, being convinced that God had called us to proclaim the good news to them.

My dear Sr Louis Mary,
Dear Sr. Louis Mary,
From the first time I heard you preach, I knew it came from your prayer and experience.
So grateful to you for the years we shared Spiritual Direction together. I always felt you led me to Jesus and it still works for me. You have used your gift of the Spirit so well. I am blessed in many ways by your presence and guidance. I continue to keep you in prayer and ask for your prayer as well for a peaceful meeting in heaven.
