Prayer to St. Gregory the Great
O invincible defender of Holy Church's freedom, Saint Gregory of great renown, by that firmness you showed in maintaining the Church's rights against all her enemies, stretch forth from heaven your mighty arm, we beseech you, to comfort her and defend her in the fearful battle she must ever wage with the powers of darkness.
You, in a special manner, give strength in this dread conflict to the venerable Pontiff who has fallen heir not only to your throne, but likewise to the fearlessness of your mighty heart; obtain for him the joy of beholding his holy endeavors crowned by the triumph of the Church and the return of the lost sheep into the right path.
Grant, finally, that all may understand how vain it is to strive against that faith which has always conquered and is destined always to conquer: "this is the victory which overcomes the world, our faith."
This is the prayer that we raise to you with one accord; and we are confident, that, after you have heard our prayers on earth, you will one day call us to stand with you in heaven, before the eternal High Priest, who with the Father and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns world without end.
Amen.
