All most of us (me, certainly) know about Sts. Timothy and Titus is that they were disciples of St. Paul and the addressees of three letters, two to Timothy and one to Titus. These Pastoral Epistles, as they are called, witness to the development of the church and its ministries. I'm afraid I can't say anything very profound about them, though First Timothy 2:4 does tell us that God "
desires all men to be
saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." I take comfort in that when the specters of hyper-Augustinianism and Calvinism flit around my brain. (I do read a fair number of Reformed blogs.)
From the Roman Missal, 3rd edition:
O God, who adorned
Saints Timothy and Titus
with apostolic
virtues,
grant, through the
intercession of them both,
that, living
justly and devoutly in this present age,
we may merit to
reach our heavenly homeland.
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.
