Timothy had a Greek father and a Jewish mother. Being the product of a “mixed” marriage, he was considered illegitimate by the Jews. Timothy was a convert of Paul around the year 47 and later joined him in his apostolic work. He was with Paul at the founding of the Church in Corinth. During the 15 years he worked with Paul, he became one of his most faithful and trusted friends. He was sent on difficult missions by Paul. At some period Timothy himself was in prison. Paul installed him as his representative at the Church of Ephesus.
Titus has the distinction of being a close friend and disciple of Paul as well as a fellow missionary. He was Greek, apparently from Antioch. Even though Titus was a Gentile, Paul would not let him be forced to undergo circumcision at Jerusalem. Titus is seen as a peacemaker, administrator, great friend. When Paul was having trouble with the community at Corinth, Titus was the bearer of Paul’s severe letter and was successful in smoothing things out.
A PRAYER FOR THE INTERCESSION OF SAINTS TIMOTHY AND TITUS
God our Father,
You gave Your saints Timothy and Titus
the courage and wisdom of the apostles:
may their prayers help us to live holy lives
and lead us to heaven, our true home.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Prayer to Saint Timothy
Dear Saint,
well known for your gentleness,
you were a most faithful disciple of
Saint Paul, and like him,
traveled much to bring
the Good News to all people.
The Letters Paul wrote to you reveal your zeal
and inspire us with confidence in you.
You too were cast into prison
and you too gave your life for Christ.
So with confidence we dare to ask,
please obtain relief for
(name of sufferer),
if it be God’s will.
Amen.
Saint Timothy
Lord, you blessed St.
Timothy with Apostolic virtues.
Through his intercession, may
we be filled with the desire and
will to live good and religious
lives here on earth and thus be
worthy of our heavenly on with
you. Amen.
St. Timothy, pray for us.
