Saint Gregory was born at Neo-Cesarea, in Pontus (Editor: Modern-day Turkey), about 200 A.D., and became Bishop of his native City.
Famous for his Sanctity and Doctrine, he became still more so by the prodigies and miracles, which God multiplied in such a manner throughout his life, that he was surnamed “Thaumaturgus”, or, “Worker of Miracles”.
One day, putting into practice Our Lord's Word, quoted in today's Gospel, he commanded a mountain to move, so as to leave sufficient room for the building of a Church, and the command was obeyed.
He died in 270 A.D.
Mass: Státuit.
