Ad Limina: Meeting all your St. Gregory the Great needs.
St. Gregory is one of the coolest and underrated saints in the Church. His promotion of relics and the cult of the saints (since we're on the subject today) was definitive; he was also the primary initiative behind the evangelization of the British isles. He was a central figure in Medieval devotion and theology, and still figures prominently in the readings from the Liturgy of the Hours.
