Father O’Malley answers the phone.

“Hello, is this Father O’Malley?” a woman’s voice says. “It is,” he replies. This is the IRS. Can you help us?” “I can.” “Do you know a Ted Houlihan?” “I do.” “Is he a member of your congregation?” “He is.” “Did he donate $10,000 to the church?” “He will.”

In preparation for the Feast of St. Gregory, this week’s column continues his biography, found at www.catholic.org. Pope Saint Gregory was well educated and excelled in all his studies. He also became an expert in law. He excelled so much he became the Prefect of Rome, just as his father had been. Gregory was only 33 years old. After Gregory's father had died, Gregory had the family villa in Rome converted into a monastery. Today the monastery still stands as the San Gregorio Magno al Celio. This famous monastery fell into ruin in the following centuries but was restored during the 17th and 18th centuries. As a monk, Gregory was hard and strict. When a monk on his deathbed confessed to stealing three pieces of gold, Gregory ordered he be left to die alone. After the poor monk had died, Gregory ordered his body thrown on a dung heap along with the three coins. Then, in a turn of heart, Gregory offered 30 Masses for the deceased monk. Pope Pelagius II, who reigned from 579 to 590, chose Gregory to serve as an ambassador to the imperial court in Constantinople. The Pope had a problem with the Lombards invading from the west. Gregory was ordered to request military aid from the emperor. But the emperor felt there were greater threats to the east, and he refused Gregory's request. In 590, Pope Pelagius II died, and Gregory was proclaimed pope by acclamation. This was not something Gregory wanted, but he accepted the burden nevertheless. Gregory made clear he preferred the monastic life in a series of writings praising it. He also referred to himself as a servant of God. The habit remains in practice to this day and many clergy still refer to themselves as servants. Pope Gregory was famous for the emphasis he put on missionary work. He sent many people out to bring many to Jesus and into the Church. Anglo-Saxon Britain was, at that time, still on the frontier of Christendom. It was Pope Gregory who dispatched St. Augustine (of Canterbury) to Kent in 597 (not to be confused with St. Augustine of Hippo). Pope Gregory made many changes to the Mass, some of which remain today, The position of the Our Father in the Mass remains where Pope Gregory placed it.

To be continued.. Fr. Dan

En preparación para la fiesta de San Gregorio, mi columna continúa su biografía, que se encuentra en www.catholic.org.

Gregory fue bien educado y sobresalió en todos sus estudios. También se convirtió en un experto en derecho. Se destacó tanto que se convirtió en Prefecto de Roma, tal como lo había sido su padre. Gregory tenía solo 33 años.

Después de la muerte del padre de Gregory, Gregory convirtió la villa familiar en Roma en un monasterio. Hoy el monasterio sigue en pie como San Gregorio Magno al Celio. Este famoso monasterio cayó en ruinas en los siglos siguientes, pero fue restaurado durante los siglos XVII y XVIII.

Como monje, Gregory era duro y estricto. Cuando un monje en su lecho de muerte confesó haber robado tres piezas de oro, Gregory ordenó que lo dejaran morir solo. Después de que el pobre monje murió, Gregory ordenó arrojar su cuerpo sobre un montón de estiércol junto con las tres monedas. Luego, en un giro de corazón, Gregory ofreció 30 misas para el monje fallecido.

El papa Pelagio II, que reinó desde 579 hasta 590, eligió a Gregorio para servir como embajador ante la corte imperial de Constantinopla.

El Papa tuvo un problema con la invasión de los lombardos desde el oeste. Gregory recibió la orden de solicitar ayuda militar del emperador. Pero el emperador sintió que había mayores amenazas hacia el este, y rechazó la solicitud de Gregory.

En 590, el papa Pelagio II murió y Gregorio fue proclamado papa por aclamación. Esto no era algo que Gregory quisiera, pero a pesar de todo aceptó la carga.

Gregory dejó en claro que prefería la vida monástica en una serie de escritos que lo elogiaban. También se refirió a sí mismo como un siervo de Dios. El hábito permanece en la práctica hasta el día de hoy y muchos clérigos todavía se refieren a sí mismos como sirvientes.

El papa Gregorio fue famoso por el énfasis que puso en la obra misional. Envió a muchas personas a traer a Jesús y a la Iglesia. La Gran Bretaña anglosajona estaba, en ese momento, todavía en la frontera de la cristiandad. Fue el papa Gregorio quien envió a San Agustín (de Canterbury) a Kent en 597 (que no debe confundirse con San Agustín de Hipopótamo).

El Papa Gregorio hizo muchos cambios en la Misa, algunos de los cuales permanecen hoy. La posición del Padre Nuestro en la Misa permanece donde el Papa Gregorio la colocó.

Continuará.. Pdr. Dan
