Fr. Mike highlights a secret to holiness visible in Paul’s ability to see his arduous trip to Rome as the will of God. He also clears up confusion in regards to Paul’s direction for wives to be subject to their husbands, again drawing our attention to our call to love and serve while being subject to each other out of reverence for Christ. Today’s readings are Acts 27, Ephesians 4-6, and Proverbs 29:22-24. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

It's day 348. We're reading Acts 27, Ephesians chapters 4, 5, and 6, and Proverbs chapter 29, verses 22 through 24. The Acts of the Apostles, chapter 27. Paul sails for Rome. And when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan cohort named Julius.
And embarking in a ship of Atrametrium, which was about to sail to the ports along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, accompanied by Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica. The next day we put in at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him leave to go to his friends and be cared for.
and putting to sea from there we sailed under the lee of cyprus because the winds were against us and when we had sailed across the sea which is off cilicia and pamphylia we came to myra in lycia there the centurion found a ship of alexandria sailing for italy and put us on board
We sailed slowly for a number of days, and arrived with difficulty off Sinaitis, and as the wind did not allow us to go on, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmoni. Coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fairhavens, near which was the city of Lycia.
