January 26
The memorial of Saints Timothy and Titus, bishops, disciples of Saint Paul the Apostle and helpers in his apostolate, one of whom governed the church at Ephesus and the other the church at Crete; to them were written epistles, which offer wise admonitions for pastors and the instruction of the faithful.
***
May Holy Mary and all the saints intercede to the Lord for us, that we may merit to be helped and saved by him who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
V. Precious in the sight of the Lord
R. Is the death of his holy ones.
V. May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life. And may the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in pace.
R. Amen
