Today the Church honors Pope Saint John I, the pope who became a martyr after being caught between powerful rulers and political conflict.

Sent on a dangerous diplomatic mission, he remained faithful to the Church even when suspicion, imprisonment, and suffering followed.

In this episode of Saints in a Year, Saul reflects on endurance, faithfulness, and perseverance under pressure.
