Practical advice
Whenever you have the opportunity, give up a comfort to remain faithful to your conscience and offer that effort for someone who needs help.
Biography
The Roman priest Hippolytus, a renowned theologian, had established himself as the head of a dissident community. During the persecution of Maximinus, he was deported to Sardinia with Pope Pontian, where he was reconciled with the Church. Subjected to forced labor, both died as martyrs for Christ. It is always time to rectify.
