Wednesday, January 26, Third Week in Ordinary Time

SAINTS TIMOTHY AND TITUS (1st century AD), Disciples of St. Paul, Bishops
Timothy and Titus are both mentioned by St. Paul several times in his letters, especially Timothy, and in fact, two letters to Timothy
and one to Titus are part of the New Testament. Pope Benedict XVI dedicated his catechesis on December 13, 2006, to them, following
his catecheses on the Twelve Apostles and Paul himself. Both were Greek-born (Though Timothy's mother was Jewish), met up with Paul
during his missionary travels, and travelled with him or were sent on missions by him. Paul's affection and confidence in his two
disciples are evident in his letters. Indeed, Timothy went on to be Bishop of Ephesus, and Titus, Bishop of Crete. Legend says that
St. John first came to stay with Timothy in Ephesus before he was exiled to Patmos. The Orthodox Church also venerates Timothy as
a martyr, because it is said he was stoned to death (around 80 AD) by pagans who protested a Christian procession led by him. Titus
apparently lived peacefully to age 95 (around 107 AD).

OR today.
The only papal stories in this issue are the Holy Father's message for World Mission Day regarding the urgency of evangelization in a globalized world, for the annual observance celebrated this year on October 23 (third Sunday in October); and a reflection on his address to the Roman Rota last Monday about Catholic matrimony. The issue went to press before the Vespers that ended the Week of Christian Unity. International news on Page 1: Russia falls back under the incubus of terrorism from Muslim secessionist extremists; a worrisome drought in China has now affected the area around Beijing itself; a UN report says 1.6 billion people around the world have no access to electricity. Two articles in the inside pages reflect on Cint Eastwood's movie about the afterlife, Hereafter.

PAPAL EVENTS TODAY

General Audience - The Holy Father resumed his catechetical cycle on great medieval women in the Church
with France's Joan of Arc (1412-1431).


Security 'disturbance' by
2 Maltese at today's GA

ROME, January 26 - Self-styled religious mystic and another faithful stopped by Vatican security from delivering letter to Pope Benedict XVI.

The Italian press agency ANSA reports that two Maltese nationals were involved in a security breach at the Vatican, when they climbed over a security barrier at the Paul VI hall during Pope Benedict's General Audience today.

One of the persons was Angelik Caruana, who claims to deliver messages from the Holy Virgin in what have been uninterrupted visitations since 2006, when he claimed a statue of the Virgin in his house was weeping tears of blood.

Pope Benedict XVI was hosting a general audience at the time, when the two Maltese, according to ANSA - started shouting out loud to attract attention to them, saying they wished to deliver a letter to the Pope.

Vatican press deputy director Fr Ciro Benedettini said the letter was taken by the Vatican gendarmerie, and contained "devotional messages".

Our sister newspaper Illum claims there is a Curial document of teh Malta Archdiocese proving that the blood found on the statue of the Holy Virgin in Caruana's home, was human blood, allegedly that Caruana himself.

In a message Caruana claims to have received last August, 4, the Virgin Mary was said to have promised a spring that would provide water that will heal the sick.

[What's with some Franciscans who seem very ready to believe tales of the supernatural? Franciscans were and are behind the entire Medjugorje phenomenon (and continue to defy the Church and the diocese), and now a sidebar from the Times of Lata identifies yet another Franciscan as a leading follower of Caruana who is now spreading stories about a new 'crying' image of Mary...]




- For about two days, the story about 'Pope says marriage is not an automatic right' dominated the online summaries of Anglophone MSM headlines around the world, but were soon replaced by the 'Pope blesses social networking' pap to which the MSM have reduced the Pope's message on the right uses of the new information technologies - still in the news two days since the message was released. Not unexpectedly, only the Catholic media are reporting on his messages regarding Christian unity...
