Prayer of St. Gregory the Great
Feast Day Sept. 3
As we approach the beginning of a new school year, we turn to St. Gregory the Great, patron saint of teachers and students.
When we are linked
by the power of prayer,
we, as it were,
hold each other’s hand
as we walk side by side
along a slippery path;
and thus
by the bounteous disposition
of charity,
it comes about that
the harder each one leans
on the other,
the more firmly we are riveted
together in brotherly love.
– St. Gregory the Great
