That rule must be absolutely observed which states that, except for the most serious reasons and with the Apostolic See, no innovations are to be introduced into the holy rites of the liturgy.
Pope Gregory XVI
We must observe also, that among the heathen the names of poor men are more likely to be known than of rich. Now our Lord mentions the name of the poor, but not the name of the rich, because God knows and approves the humble, but not the proud.
Pope Gregory I
And here we must narrowly watch ourselves, seeing that banquets can scarcely be celebrated blamelessly, for almost always luxury accompanies feasting and when the body is swallowed up in the delight of refreshing itself, the heart relaxes to empty joys.
Pope Gregory I
Obedience is the only virtue that plants the other virtues in the heart and preserves them after they have been planted.
Pope Gregory I
What do they not see, who see Him Who sees all things?
Pope Gregory I
It is the custom of the Roman Church which I unworthily serve with the help of God, to tolerate some things, to turn a blind eye to some, following the spirit of discretion rather than the rigid letter of the law.
Pope Gregory VII
He who is required by the necessity of his position to speak the highest things is compelled by the same necessity to exemplify the highest things.
Pope Gregory I
Let nothing of the truths that have been defined be lessened, nothing altered, nothing added, but let them be preserved intact in word and in meaning.
Pope Gregory XVI
The Holy Bible is like a mirror before our mind's eye. In it we see our inner face. From the Scriptures we can learn our spiritual deformities and beauties. And there too we discover the progress we are making and how far we are from perfection.
Pope Gregory I
As long as the vice of gluttony has a hold on a man, all that he has done valiantly is forfeited by him: and as long as the belly is unrestrained, all virtue comes to naught.
Pope Gregory I
The people will have no need to change their place of concourse where of old they were wont to sacrifice cattle to demons, thither let them continue to resort on the day of the Saint to whom the Church is dedicated, and slay their beasts, no longer as a sacrifice to demons, but for a social meal in honour of Him whom they now worship.
Pope Gregory I
For if we are bidden to honor carnal fathers and mothers, how much more the spiritual? ... If this virtue of charity has been overlooked, a man will lose any fruit of salvation in any good he may do.
Pope Gregory VII
We make Idols of our concepts, but Wisdom is born of wonder
Pope Gregory I
The holy universal Church teaches that it is not possible to worship God truly except in Her and asserts that all who are outside of Her will not be saved.
Pope Gregory I
The Bible is a stream of running water, where alike the elephant may swim, and the lamb walk without losing its feet.
Pope Gregory I
The bliss of the elect in heaven would not be perfect unless they were able to look across the abyss and enjoy the agonies of their brethren in eternal fire.
Pope Gregory I
The greatness of contemplation can be given to none but those who love.
Pope Gregory I
The pastor should always be pure in thought ... no impurity ought to pollute him who has undertaken the office of wiping away the stains in the hearts of others ... for the hand that would cleanse from dirt must be clean, lest, being itself sordid with clinging mire, it soil whatever it touches all the more.
Pope Gregory I
The universe is not rich enough to buy the vote of an honest man.
Pope Gregory I
Pray to Saint Philomena, What ever you ask from her, She will obtain for you.
Pope Gregory XVI
God is called jealous, angered, repentant, merciful, and foreknowing. These simply mean that, because He guards the chastity of every soul, He can, in human fashion, be called jealous, although He is not subject to any mental torment.
Pope Gregory I
Scriptura sacra mentis oculis quasi quoddam speculum opponitur, ut interna nostra facies in ipsa videatur. Holy scripture is placed before the eyes of our mind like a mirror, so that we may view our inner face therein.
Pope Gregory I
The unrestrained freedom of thinking and of openly making known one's thoughts is not inherent in the rights of citizens and is by no means worthy of favor and support.
Pope Gregory XVI
There are in truth three states of the converted: the beginning, the middle, and the perfection. In the beginning they experience the charms of sweetness in the middle the contests of temptation and in the end the fullness of perfection.
