Life

Pope Leo II (c. 01 January 611 – 28 June 683) was the Bishop of Rome from 17 August 682 to his death on 28 June 683. One of the popes of the Byzantine Papacy, he is described by a contemporary biographer as both just and learned. He is commemorated as a saint in the Roman Martyrology.

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