In today's Office of Readings we encounter a reading from a homily on the Gospels by Saint Gregory the Great, pope (540-604 A.D.). He was elected Pope on 3 September 590, the first monk to be elected to this office. He wrote extensively on pastoral care, spirituality, and morals, and designated himself “servant of the servants of God.” For a reflection, "The Lord follows his preachers," please click on the image.

In today's Office of Readings we encounter a reading from a letter to Proba by St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430 A.D.).
He wrote an enormous amount and left a permanent mark on both philosophy and theology. His Confessions, as dazzling in style as they are deep in content, are a landmark of world literature. The Second Readings in the Office of Readings contain extracts from many of his sermons and commentaries and also from the Confessions.

Peace be with you!
