2. He resigned the papacy, so that the Church might have an active leader. They both died in Sardinia. Hippolytus is buried in the cemetery on the via Tiburtina, and Pontian in the catacombs of Callistus.

3. PRAYER:

Lord,
may the loyal suffering of your saints,
Pontian and Hippolytus,
fill us with your love
and make our hearts steadfast in faith.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
