ST. TIMOTHY Novena Day 4 / Patron Saint of those Suffering from Stomach and Intestinal Disorders

#sttimothy #novenatosttimothy #patronsaint Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Timothy as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the love of You he showed in his great zeal for winning souls for You. St. Timothy, you willingly chose to leave behind your home and family in order to join St. Paul. You did all you could to serve God wholeheartedly as a missionary. Please do all you can to bring my petitions before the throne of God! You were eager to preach the Gospel to others. You accompanied St. Paul to many lands and zealously worked to win souls for Christ and His Church.  Pray for me, that I may grow in an eagerness to bring souls into the Church. Pray that I may never miss the opportunity to help bring others to conversion in my life. Please also pray for (mention your intentions here). St. Timothy, pray for us! ******************** ABOUT ST. TIMOTHY St. Timothy was born around the year 17 A.D., in Lystra. His mother was a Jew and his father was Greek. Though his father was not Jewish, Timothy’s holy mother and grandmother ensured that Timothy was well-educated in Scripture during Timothy’s childhood. St. Paul visited Lystra with Barnabas and brought many people to conversion there. By the time of St. Paul’s next journey to Lystra with Silas, Timothy was a prominent member of the Christian community in the city. Timothy’s mother and grandmother were also prominent members of the Christian community. Not long after this, Timothy became St. Paul’s companion and helper in preaching. Because Timothy’s father was not a Jew, Timothy was not circumcised. So St. Paul said that Timothy should be circumcised in order that the Jews Timothy would be preaching to would not find Timothy scandalous. Timothy agreed to be circumcised.  In 52 A.D., Timothy left behind his home in order to accompany Paul and Silas to Macedonia. St. Augustine later noted Timothy’s selflessness and zeal in choosing to leave behind his parents and home in exchange for a life of poverty.  It is likely that Timothy was prone to illness, as Paul suggests that Timothy should drink some wine to help his stomach. Timothy and Paul separated when Paul had to escape from the angry Jews in Berea. Timothy at first remained in Berea, but soon after he went to Thessalonica to encourage the persecuted Christians there. His report to Paul on the conditions of the Christians in Thessalonica led Paul to write the First Letter to the Thessalonians.  After this, Timothy went to Corinth. He was there with Paul when Paul wrote the letter to the Romans. In 64 A.D., Paul left Timothy in Ephesus as the bishop of the Christian people there. As Paul awaited his martyrdom in prison, he asked for his close friend Timothy to come give him a last goodbye.  The writer of Hebrews implies that Timothy was imprisoned at least once during his time in ministry, as the Hebrews author mentions Timothy being released from prison at the end of the letter. Details about Timothy’s death are not known for certain, but tradition holds that he was martyred in Ephesus because he tried to put a stop to a procession that honored a pagan goddess. It is thought that Timothy was beaten, dragged through streets, and stoned to death by angry pagans around the year 97 A.D. when he was about eighty years old.  ********************* Hello everyone, Peace be with you.
