Pope St. Gregory the Great
A great pope of the church, Pope St. Gregory gave up the privileges of being a rich man's son to serve God. As a young man, he became one of seven deacons of Rome. He then became Rome's Chief Magistrate but resigned to become a monk turning the family estate into the Abbey of St. Andrew.
Elected pope at age 50, St. Gregory made peace with the invading Lombards, saved Rome from famine, and restored order within the Church itself.
Our rock
Although the world may change, God stays the same. He can be trusted to provide love, support, strength, patience, wisdom, insight, and creativity when we need it. All we have to do is ask. "For I the Lord do not change..........." (Malachi 3:6).
Power in number
"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them" (Matthew 18:20).
