In the Eastern Orthodox Church, Gregory the Great (590-604) is usually called Saint Gregory Dialogus, Pope of Rome. The Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts, which he compiled, is a service that we use on weekdays during Lent. You can read about his other writings and inspiring life, including several quotes from the saint, on this site. Here is one of the quotes, fitting for Lent:
“Every day you provide your bodies with good to keep them from failing. In the same way your good works should be the daily nourishment of your hearts. Your bodies are fed with food and your spirits with good works. You aren’t to deny your soul, which is going to live forever, what you grant to your body, which is going to die.”
I only recently began to learn about St. Gregory, after reading this poem by him:
DIVINE CREATOR OF THE LIGHT
Divine creator of the light,
Who, bringing forth the golden ray,
Didst join the morning with the night
And call the blessed union day;
And warm us with the light of love.
And make our wills accord with thine.
And cleanse our souls from earthly stain.
-Gregory the Great (c. 540 – 604) Italy
Translated by Daniel Joseph Donahoe
Gladsome Lights 
In the Office of Readings which Catholic priests and many lay people read every day. A good many of the readings are by St. Gregory the Great, and every one reads like it could have been written today. They are all wonderful. Our parish is St. Gregory the Great.
I love it when we celebrate the Resurrection on the same day.

I love that St Gregory is the patron of your parish ❤ And that he is featured so often in the Daily Office. He is often commemorated in our services, but every day many are commemorated, and it's a little overwhelming to me, who came so late in life to learning about my spiritual family going back millennia. Glory to God for all His saints known and unknown — there are always more to get to know.
