I can relate to St. Andrew—when the huge crowd of people had gathered, and there was nothing but a few fish and loaves of bread to be found, he fretted.

In my mind, Jesus was a very busy guy. I think of his many, many stories of preaching, traveling, healing; it seems that people were constantly nearby—listening, asking questions, begging for a miracle.

Despite the two letters written to St. Timothy, he doesn’t get a lot of personal face time in the Bible; his various snippets are scattered.

Prophetesses are not often discussed in biblical discussions, however, St. Anna the Prophetess deserves some notice. She was a longtime widow, prayerful, elderly, devoted to God, and recognized Christ when he was presented at the Temple!

Have you ever waited and waited for something important in your life? Consider the story of holy Simeon—who experienced a revelation that he would be graced with the gift of his eyes resting on Israel’s Savior before his death.

St. Titus’ friendship was important to St. Paul when he was going through troubled times. How can we be that same type of encouraging friend?
