CLE
Second Missionary Journey
MISSIONARY JOURNEY OF ST.PAUL
- Paul traveled over 10,000 miles
proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ.
His journeys on land and sea took him
primarily through present day Israel, Syria,
Turkey, and Greece.
- Traveling by sea was not comfortable.
There were no cabins for travelers. They
had to find a place on the deck exposed
to sun, winds, and rain. Paul’s trade as a
tentmaker probably held him in good
stead, as he could fashion shelter for
himself and his companions on the deck.
- three times I was shipwrecked, I passed a
night and a day on the deep; on frequent
journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers
from robbers, dangers from my race,
dangers from Gentiles, dangers in the
city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers at
sea, … in toil in hardship, through many
sleepless nights, through hunger and
thirst, through frequent fastings, through
cold and exposure. (1 Cor. 11:25-27)
First Missionary Journey
- In response to a call of the Holy Spirit, the
church in Antioch chose Barnabas and
Paul to proclaim the gospel.
- They first traveled to Cyprus, then to
Antioch in Pisidia, a city in present day
west central Turkey. They then went to
Iconium, Lystra and Derba. They then
returned through Perga to Antioch.
- When they stopped in each city, they
went to the synagogues to preach the
coming of Jesus Christ, the messiah as
the fulfillment of the promises made in the
Old Testament.
- St. Paul traveled towards north, outside
Israel like Antioch and Listra to preach
about Jesus who is the Son of God, sent
by the Father but put to death, so that by
His dying and rising each one may attain
newness of life. He was accompanied by
Barnabas and Silas.
1
- Barnabas and Paul separated over a
disagreement. Barnabas returned to
Cyprus.
- From Jerusalem Paul went overland to
revisit the churches in Lystra and Iconium.
On this trip Paul had a dream calling him
to bring the gospel to Macedonia. He
crossed the Aegean Sea to present day
Greece. He traveled down the east coast
of Greece. Stopping in Athens, Paul
attempted to proclaim the gospel in
Athens, where he was met with polite
indifference.
- He then went to Corinth where he
established a church that would give him
both great joy and pain. Traveling back
through Ephesus where his successful
teaching won many to Christ to the
annoyance of the local charm dealers.
Paul returned to Antioch by way of
Jerusalem.
- St. Paul traveled far to Thessalonica,
Philippi, and Corinth to preach about the
Lord Jesus that the Gentiles may come to
the knowledge of the plan of God. He was
accompanied by Silas and Timothy on
this journey.
- St. Paul went to Macedonia to bring to
the people the good news about the Lord
Jesus. He did this because of a man who
asked him when he stayed in Troas.
Third Missionary Journey
- On his third and longest journey Paul
went overland through present day Turkey
then across the Aegean Sea to Greece.
- This was a pastoral journey revisiting the
churches he had founded to strengthen
them and give them further instruction.
- While in Ephesus Paul heard a prophecy
that should he return to Jerusalem he
would be imprisoned. The churches he
visited pleaded to him not to go. But Paul
felt called by Christ to continue to meet
whatever God willed for him.
- The third missionary journey was the most
extensive geographically of any of the
three, and its duration was much longer
than the other two had been. During this
 journey, Paul covered the territory he had
traversed in Asia Minor on the earlier
missions and stopped and preached at
several new places as well, mostly ports
of call at islands in the Ionian Sea. He did
not cover Cyprus, however. After his
separation from Barnabas, he did not visit
Cyprus.
- The focal point of Paul's third missionary
journey was Ephesus, the capital of the
Roman province of Asia, where he stayed
for 2 years and 3 months. He spent more
time in this city than in any other in the
course of his three missionary journeys. In
fact, he stayed so long, it looked as if his
itinerary might end there and he would
settle down in Ephesus and become its
first bishop.
Last Missionary Journey

- St. Paul's mission contributed much to
the Christianization of the whole world. He
made people become aware of the

his love for God.

CONVERSION
- Christ's call to conversion continues to
resound in the lives of Christians. This
second conversion is an uninterrupted
task for the whole Church who, "clasping
sinners to her bosom, [is] at once holy
and always in need of purification, [and]
follows constantly the path of penance
and renewal." CATECHISM OF THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH 1428
- This endeavor of conversion is not just a
human work. It is the movement of a
"contrite heart," drawn and moved by
grace to respond to the merciful love of
God who loved us first. CATECHISM OF
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH 1428
- “A radical reorientation of our whole life, a
return, a conversion to God with all our
heart, an end of sin, a turning away from
evil, with repugnance toward the evil
actions we have committed.”
- The spirit of conversion can only be
attained if we have a personal relationship
with God.
