Saints of the Week
Francis de Sales — Feast Day: January 24
Francis de Sales took seriously the words of Christ, “Learn of me for I am meek and humble of heart.” As he
said himself, it took him 20 years to conquer his quick temper, but no one ever suspected he had such a
problem, so overflowing with good nature and kindness was his usual manner of ac ng. His perennial meek-
ness and sunny disposi on won for him the tle of “Gentleman Saint.”
Francisco de Sales — Día de Fiesta: 24 de enero
Francisco de Sales se tomó en serio las palabras de Cristo: “Aprended de mí que soy manso y humilde de
corazón.” Como él mismo dijo, le costó 20 años conquistar su temperamento rápido, pero nadie sospechó
nunca que tuviera ese problema, por lo que su manera de actuar con buena naturaleza y amabilidad era su
forma habitual de actuar. Su perenne mansedumbre y su solemne disposición le valieron el tulo de
“santo gen l.”
The Conversion of St. Paul — Feast Day: January 25
Saint Paul’s en re life can be explained in terms of one experience—his mee ng with Jesus on the road to Damascus. In an instant, he
saw that all the zeal of his dynamic personality was being wasted, like the strength of a boxer swinging wildly. Now he himself was
“entered,” possessed, all his energy harnessed to one goal—being a slave of Christ in the ministry of reconcilia on, an instrument to
help others experience the one Savior.
From then on, his only work was to “present everyone perfect in Christ. For this I labor and struggle, in
accord with the exercise of his power working within me” (Colossians 1:28b-29). “For our gospel did
not come to you in word alone, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and [with] much convic on” (1
Thessalonians 1:5a). So Paul’s great message to the world was: You are saved en rely by God, not by
anything you can do. Saving faith is the gi of total, free, personal and loving commitment to Christ, a
commitment that then bears fruit in more “works” than the Law could ever contemplate.
La Conversión de San Pablo - Día de Fiesta: 25 de enero
La vida entera de San Pablo puede explicarse en términos de una experiencia: su encuentro con Jesús
en el camino a Damasco. En un instante, vio que todo el celo de su dinámica personalidad se desperdi-
ciaba, como la fuerza de un boxeador que se balancea salvajemente. Ahora, él mismo estaba
"entrado", poseído, con toda su energía encauzada hacia un obje vo: ser un esclavo de Cristo en el
ministerio de la reconciliación, un instrumento para ayudar a otros a experimentar al único Salvador.
A par r de entonces, su único trabajo fue "presentar a todos perfectos en Cristo. Para ello trabajo y
lucho, según el ejercicio de su poder que actúa en mí" (Colosenses 1:28b-29). "Porque nuestro evan-
gelio no llegó a vosotros sólo con palabras, sino también con poder y con el Espíritu Santo y [con]
mucha convicción" (1 Tesalonicenses 1:5a). Así que el gran mensaje de Pablo al mundo fue: Eres salvado únicamente por Dios, no por
nada que puedas hacer. La fe salvadora es el don de un compromiso total, gratuito, personal y amoroso con Cristo, un compromiso que
luego da fruto en más "obras" de las que la Ley podría contemplar.
Saints Timothy and Titus— Feast Day: January 26
Timothy was with Paul in Rome during the la er’s house arrest. At some period Timothy him-
self was in prison (Hebrews 13:23). Paul installed him as his representa ve at the Church of
Ephesus. Timothy was compara vely young for the work he was doing. Several references seem
to indicate that he was mid. And one of Paul’s most frequently quoted lines was addressed to
him: “Stop drinking only water, but have a li le wine for the sake of your stomach and your
frequent illnesses” (1 Timothy 5:23).
Titus has the dis nc on of being a close friend and disciple of Paul as well as a fellow mission-
ary. He was Greek, apparently from An och. Even though Titus was a Gen le, Paul would not
let him be forced to undergo circumcision at Jerusalem. Titus is seen as a peacemaker, adminis-
trator, great friend. Paul’s second le er to Corinth affords an insight into the depth of his
friendship with Titus, and the great fellowship they had in preaching the gospel.
Santos Timoteo y Tito - Día de fiesta: 26 de enero
Timoteo estuvo con Pablo en Roma durante el arresto domiciliario de éste. En algún momento
el propio Timoteo estuvo en prisión (Hebreos 13:23). Pablo lo nombró como su representante
en la Iglesia de Éfeso. Timoteo era rela vamente joven para el trabajo que realizaba. Varias referencias en parecen indicar que era
mido. Y una de las frases más citadas de Pablo se dirigía a él: “Deja de beber sólo agua, pero toma un poco de vino por el bien de tu
estómago y tus frecuentes enfermedades” (1 Timoteo 5:23).
Tito se dis ngue por ser amigo ín mo y discípulo de Pablo, además de compañero de misión. Era griego, aparentemente de An oquía.
A pesar de que Tito era gen l, Pablo no permi ó que lo obligaran a someterse a la circuncisión en Jerusalén. Tito es visto como un
pacificador, administrador, gran amigo. La segunda carta de Pablo a Corinto permite conocer la profundidad de su amistad con Tito, y
de la gran comunión que tenían en la predicación del evangelio.
