Venerable Gregory left his wealthy family to follow Christ, facing persecution for defending icons. He wandered, preaching truth and healing the sick. In his later years, slander led to unjust imprisonment. Yet, Gregory bore it all with unwavering faith, his humility shining through until his peaceful death.

Lord, may Gregory's courage inspire us to stand firm in faith.
