Venerable Gregory left his wealthy family and fiancée to embrace monasticism. Enduring temptations, he fled to Thessalonica, then roamed, preaching against heresy. In Constantinople, he confronted iconoclasts, enduring imprisonment. Known for healing and casting out demons through prayer and fasting, he reposed peacefully.
Lord, through the prayers of St. Gregory, grant us strength against temptation and steadfastness in faith.
