As the current pope, John Paul II, has admitted, Methodius ’ life was spent “amidst journeys, privations, sufferings, hostility and persecution,... even a period of cruel imprisonment. ”
Siç e ka pranuar papa i tanishëm, Gjon Pali II, jeta e Metodit kaloi « mes udhëtimesh, privimesh, vuajtjesh, armiqësisë dhe persekutimit,... madje edhe mes një periudhe burgosjeje mizore ».
