Generally I do not post on blogs, but I would like to say that this post really forced me to do so, Excellent post! http://www.jacketsparkastore.com
The "cartoon" about Gregory, "Saints Fun Facts" says he became a priest at the age of 35. I thought Gregory was a deacon when he was elected Pope and was ordained a priest and bishop as a result of that election.
cool
Happy St Gregory The Pope Day!!! May God Bless the World Today on this special day!
I like him because he showed himself a true pastor in his administration, his care for the poor and needy, and in spreading and strengthening the faith of the people. He wrote many works on faith and morals. God has blessed him the spirit of wisdom with which he ruled the church as pope. What I learn as a priest is to be an effective administrator imbued with the pastoral care of the people. Justice imbued with mercy and compassion.St.Gregory guide me on the way to reach Christ Lord whom you loved and served with love and wisdom.
it is always useful & most interesting to "discover" new/old great people,who became saints.However short the information,we can always add to it with our own resarch.Thank you & GOD bless all.
I thought saint Gregory's feast day was September 3rd? My brother will be so disapionted. His birthday is the 3rd.
Pope St. Gregory the Great, Doctor of the Church, and patron saint of teachers. I pray for all teachers. Thank you for accepting me into this noble profession. I humbly thank you for the wonderful success that God has granted my students in the exams each year. As I begin a new academic year I pray to God for patience, ingenuity and creativity in all that I do in the classroom and outside. May I guide all who are in my care and raise good, kind and caring individuals, who are outstanding in character and diligence. Bless my work each day. I dedicate the coming year to you. Pray for me. Amen.
Dearest Patron Saint Gregory, please help me pray to God for more wisdom to excel in my teaching profession. I want to be a doctor in computer studies/ICT.
I love this site, and particlarly this Saint. Gregory the Great as said is the Patron Saint of Teachers and also of music. I want to be a musician or music teacher, and am planning on either choosing him or St. Anthony of Padua for my saint in confirmation.
Yours Sincerely,
Marsadee Flowers
P.S. Thank you Catholic.org for all the you have done for me.
The article is brief yet rich in order to know the life and background of St. Gregory the Great!
By the way, St. Gregory the Great is the patron saint of our batch inside the seminary. We call ourselves "The Defenders" since St. Gregory the Great defended also the Church from the errors of his time :D
