Saints Timothy and Titus, Bishops (Memorial)
2 Timothy 1:1-8 or Titus 1:1-5
Psalm 110:1-4
Mark 4:1-20
The good Shepherd lays down his life, says the Lord, that is, his physical life, for His sheep; this he does because of his authority and love. Both in fact, are required: that they should be ruled by him, and that he should love them. The first without the second is not enough. Christ stands out for us as the example of this teaching: if Christ laid down his life for us, so we also ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
-- St. Thomas Aquinas
