Memorial of Saints Timothy and Titus

Reflection

“I have told you this so that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world.” –John 16:33

Prayer

God in our midst,

We are so grateful you came among us, entered into the messiness of life, and transformed it. But we know the work is not done. As we see every day, the messes remain. And try as we might to heal and be healed, the suffering before us is hard to endure. Help us endure by turning to you and opening our hearts to the peace you give. Give us the courage of saints, like Timothy and Titus, whom we remember today. May their intercession give us strength to stand in the truth that you have conquered the world. Amen.
