Almighty and most merciful God, we have taken up the name of your faithful and holy servant Saint Gregory the Great, whose life exemplified his motto, Servant of the servants of God: Grant us the guidance  of your Holy Spirit in our lives and works, that we may possess our patron's   zeal and devotion to your holy Church; that through our efforts your people may come to live in that spirit of devotion: Soli Deo Gloria - to God alone the glory; and this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ your son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the same Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
