Memorial of St. Gregory the Great, Pope and Doctor
 
Father,

You guide your people with kindness and govern us with love.

By the prayers of St. Gregory give the Spirit of wisdom to those you have called to lead the Church.

May the growth of your people in holiness be the eternal joy of our shepherds.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Amen.

Fr. Leo Hambur, OSM
