Saints Timothy and Titus: Despite the struggles, arrests, and punishments St. Paul endured, he was blessed with helpers and friends such as Timothy and Titus. His esteem for and trust in them is evident in his epistles. Timothy was a young man who received the faith from his grandmother, Lois. Paul sent him as an ambassador to quell disputes in certain churches. Likewise, Titus undertook difficult missions and was left to organize the church in Crete. These two early bishops became the links between Paul and the developing Church.
