βͺ Saint of the Day : January 4
ST. GREGORY was one of the principal senators of Autun, and
continued from the death of his wife a widower till the age of fiftyseven, et which time, for his singular virtues, he was consecrated
Bishop of Langres, which see he governed with admirable prudence
and zeal thirty-three years, sanctifying his pastoral labors by the most
profound humility, assiduous prayer, and extraordinary abstinence
and mortification. An incredible number of infidels were converted by
him from idolatry, and worldly Christians from their disorders. He
died about the beginning of the year 541, but some days after the
Epiphany. Out of devotion to St. Benignus, he desired to be buried near
that Saint's tomb at Dijon; this was executed by his virtuous son
Tetricus, who succeeded him in his bishopric.
