Almighty and merciful God, You raised up Gregory of Rome to be a pastor to those who shepherd God's flock and inspired him to send missionaries to preach the Gospel to English people. Preserve in Your Church the catholic and apostolic faith that Your people may continue to be faithful in every good work and receive the crown of glory that never fades away; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
