Today we celebrate the Venerable Gregory the Great, the Dialogist and Pope of Rome. Saint Gregory grew up in a family full of saints and received an excellent secular education and attained high government positions. He soon gave up his earthly riches and devoted himself to God through monasticism, establishing six monasteries in his lifetime. Having been elected as Pope of Rome, Saint Gregory guided the church in love and piety. (It must be noted that Saint Gregory lived before the Great Schism when the Pope of Rome was still in communion with the Orthodox Church). Having written numerous works, one of them including the Divine Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts which is celebrated every Wednesday and Friday during Great Lent, Saint Gregory reposed in 604AD and today his relics can be found in the Cathedral of the Holy Apostle Peter in the Vatican.

I am done with people who learn only through catastrophe. I don’t need a gale to inform me where lies our system’s weakest point.

All I’m saying is we need to wake up, shake the metal out of our mouths. All I’m saying is maybe we could startle ourselves from the ground, fan out wings and lift off into the distant sunset like mottled loons.

Margot Armbruster, from “Elegy on a Black Lake in December,” published in Dialogist

And Then

I forgot what made me angry. Or was it afraid? As if a fever, tumbling through

the dark, had broken. Months ago, you listened to me sob into the telephone. I tried

to thank you, dear friend, after all—for all the years. It’s as if

we said goodbye before we knew anyone was leaving.
