Feast of St. Gregory the Great
Thursday, August 29, 2024
On Sept. 3, we celebrated the feast of our patron saint, St. Gregory the Great. He was the first monk to be elected pope. He established prayers, the flow of the Mass, and the liturgical year, and helped develop liturgical chant, which came to be known as “Gregorian Chant.” Pope Gregory also authored the “Pastoral Rule”, an influential guide for bishops and other church leaders. Pope Gregory I is now known as Saint Gregory the Great. He is “great” because he not only had a major influence upon the people of his time, both religiously and politically, but also because his influence and writings solidified the direction that the Church would take after him.
Prayer: Saint Gregory the Great, your first desire was to love God, to come to know Him through prayer and study, and to serve Him with all your heart. God took what you gave and transformed it into a solid foundation upon which He would continue to grow His Church. Please pray for me, that my life will always be grounded upon a solid faith so that God can use me in any way He chooses for His glory and the salvation of souls. Saint Gregory the Great, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You. (https://mycatholic.life/)
