Lovely article written last year about how much we can learn and draw inspiration from St Gregory the Great, feast of which celebrate today.
To think, the Rome in crisis, beset by barbarian... and how he was called to, and stop forward as their leader... even as he was prepared years ago to walk away from serving as prefect of Rome-- the highest administrative post..
I pray to St Gregory to obtain the grace for following God's calling, to serve as "servants of the servants of the Lord", to not despair and to not lose hope...
