Feast of St. Gregory the Great

Feast of St. Gregory the Great

Reflection

“The proof of love is in the works. Where love exists, it works great things. But when it ceases to act, it ceases to exist.” –St. Gregory the Great

Prayer

Love in Action,

As we celebrate the Feast of St. Gregory the Great, we thank you for the boldness and clarity with which Gregory reformed and inspired your Church. Thank you for the practical wisdom he shared, inspiring others to unite their spirituality with everyday life. In the ups and downs and as we work beside others, let us share something of Gregory’s pastoral spirit, shepherding each other into lives of love in action, spreading the concrete effects of love with all those around us. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time to measure my love for others by my actions of service on their behalf.
