Prevented by the Holy Spirit

“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)

The Holy Spirit and “the Spirit of Jesus” are always with His Church, because evangelization, spreading the Good News and bringing people closer to God was, is and always will be the mission of Jesus Christ. We are His body, the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, who serves in the same mission, but only Jesus is the Savior and Redeemer, and whoever goes to Heaven goes through Him with the Church as mediator.

“If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.” (Gospel Acclamation)
