St. Gregory the Great: The Pope Who Shaped the Mass & Converted England (12 March)

About this sermon

St. Gregory the Great is one of the greatest Popes in the history of the Catholic Church and one of only two Popes called “the Great.” A Doctor of the Church, monk, reformer, and missionary leader, St. Gregory shaped the liturgy, strengthened Christian Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire, and helped evangelize England. In this talk we explore: • The life of St. Gregory the Great • His role in spreading Benedictine monasticism • His mission sending St. Augustine of Canterbury to evangelize England • His influence on the Traditional Latin Mass • The origins of Gregorian Chant • How he helped guide Europe spiritually after the collapse of Rome St. Gregory’s leadership came during a time when the Western Roman Empire had fallen, and the Church became the primary force preserving Christian civilization. Through his devotion to the sacred liturgy, missionary zeal, and deep theological insight, St. Gregory helped shape the Church for centuries to come. Today we ask for his intercession that we may grow in love for the Holy Mass, the beauty of the liturgy, and the mission of bringing souls to Christ. Saint Gregory the Great, pray for us. 0:00 Pro-Life Sponsor – Real Estate for Life 0:22 Introduction to St. Gregory the Great 0:46 Birth and Noble Roman Family 1:13 Career in Roman Government 1:24 Gregory Becomes a Monk 1:39 Founding Monasteries & Benedictine Life 2:01 Writing the Life of St. Benedict 2:19 Gregory Becomes Pope 2:37 Mission to Evangelize England 2:59 St. Augustine Sent to England 3:23 Historical Account from St. Bede 3:56 England Brought from Paganism to Christ 4:04 Gregory’s Influence on the Mass 4:27 The Codification of the Roman Liturgy 4:35 Origins of Gregorian Chant 5:11 Gregory’s Leadership in a Post-Roman World 5:47 The Church Guiding Europe 6:04 The Christian Roots of European Civilization 6:56 Prayer for Missionary Zeal 7:22 Love for the Sacred Liturgy 7:47 The Beauty of Gregorian Chant 8:01 Final Prayer 8:18 St. Gregory the Great, Pray for Us For more please visit https://www.themarianfranciscans.org/ Please sign up at this link https://lifecrusade.org/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
