Reading 1, Acts 16:1-10

¹ From there he went to Derbe, and then on to Lystra, where there was a disciple called Timothy, whose mother was Jewish and had become a believer; but his father was a Greek.

² The brothers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him,

³ and Paul, who wanted to have him as a travelling companion, had him circumcised. This was on account of the Jews in the locality where everyone knew his father was a Greek.

⁴ As they visited one town after another, they passed on the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem, with instructions to observe them.

⁵ So the churches grew strong in the faith, as well as growing daily in numbers.

⁶ They travelled through Phrygia and the Galatian country, because they had been told by the Holy Spirit not to preach the word in Asia.

⁷ When they reached the frontier of Mysia they tried to go into Bithynia, but as the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them,

⁸ they went through Mysia and came down to Troas.

⁹ One night Paul had a vision: a Macedonian appeared and kept urging him in these words, 'Come across to Macedonia and help us.'

¹⁰ Once he had seen this vision we lost no time in arranging a passage to Macedonia, convinced that God had called us to bring them the good news.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 100:1-2, 3, 5

² serve Yahweh with gladness, come into his presence with songs of joy!

³ Be sure that Yahweh is God, he made us, we belong to him, his people, the flock of his sheepfold.

⁵ For Yahweh is good, his faithful love is everlasting, his constancy from age to age.
