But God, who encourages the downcast, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus, and not only by his arrival but also by the encouragement with which he was encouraged in regard to you, as he told us of your yearning, your lament, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more. ~2 Corinthians 7:5–7Prayer:Saints Timothy and Titus, you were called by God to share in the apostolic ministry of Saint Paul, to go forth to preach, and to draw many souls to Heaven.

Therefore, whether it be I or they, so we preach and so you believed. ~1 Corinthians 15:9–11Prayer:Saint Paul, you were filled with zeal throughout your life.

Please pray for me, that I may embrace the same zeal you had and allow Jesus to convert my soul as fully as you allowed Him to convert you. Saint Paul, pray for me.
