Saints Timothy and Titus

26 JANUARY 2010. Today the Church celebrates the memorial of Saints Timothy and Titus, followers of the Apostle Paul and local bishops. From the Liturgy of the Hours we read the following:

Saints Timothy and Titus were disciples and assistants of the apostle Paul. Timothy had charge of the Church at Ephesus and Titus of the Church in Crete. The letters written to them are called the pastoral epistles, for they contain excellent admonitions for the instruction of both pastors and laity.
