Life

Pope Adrian III or Hadrian III (Latin: Adrianus or Hadrianus; died 8 July 885) was the bishop of Rome and leader of the Papal States from 17 May 884 to his death on 8 July 885. He served for little more than a year, during which he worked to help the people of Italy in a very troubled time of famine and war.

May Adrian III intercede for us, and may we imitate today the holiness this Life has shown.
