Saints Timothy and Titus

Timothy and Titus were both Bishops in the Church. They also both learned about Jesus through the preaching of St. Paul. When Paul came to preach in his town, Timothy, his mother and his grandmother all became Christians. When Paul went back years later, Paul invited him to go with him to preach the Gospel and Timothy left his home and followed Paul. Timothy died a martyr, just like Paul; he was stoned because he would not worship the King. Titus did not know about Jesus until Paul told him. After hearing about Jesus, Titus became a disciple of Paul, just like Timothy. Titus was generous and hard-working and he told lots of people about Jesus. Titus had a special gift for being a peacemaker and Paul would send him all over to help the new Christians work out their problems and forgive each other. St. Paul made Titus Bishop of the Island of Crete.
