Today the Church honors Saint Celestine V, the hermit who became pope during one of the most chaotic moments in Church history.

Though he longed for silence and prayer, he was thrust into leadership, resigned the papacy humbly, and eventually died imprisoned.

In this episode of Saints in a Year, Saul reflects on humility, surrender, weakness, and holiness beyond worldly success.

📖 Scripture

2 Corinthians 12:9

Holiness is not always found in power. Sometimes it is found in surrender.

💬 Thought to Remember

Humility can be stronger than ambition.

🙏 Prayer

Saint Celestine V, teach us simplicity and trust in God.
