The deacons speak with Maria Ruiz Scaperlanda, author of "The Shepherd Who Didn't Run: Fr. Stanley Rother, Martyr from Oklahoma."

It's the story of Blessed Stanley Rother (1935 - 1981), a priest from Oklahoma who served as a missionary with the Tzʼutujil people in Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala. He was murdered by gunmen on July 28, 1981. In 2016, Pope Francis confirmed that Fr. Stanley died a martyr. He was beatified in 2017, the first U.S.-born priest to reach this step in the canonization process.
