Thanks to Catholic Online
Pope and Doctor of the Church 540-604 Feast Day September 3rd
St. Gregory the Great... Born into a wealthy family in Rome, that was very chairable. The family home was turned into a Monastery. In 578 St. Gregory was made a deacon of Rome. While still a Deacon he referred to some pagan boys as Angels... He said "Worthy indeed to be Angels of God." He desired to evangelize these English boys and sent St. Augustine and 40 other monks to England after he became Pope. St Gregory had a great love for the poor.
"St. Gregory the Great teaches about the Archangels and why they are distinct from angels. For the Feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael was set for September 29th"
"You should be aware that the word “angel” denotes a function rather than a nature. Those holy spirits of heaven have indeed always been spirits. They can only be called angels when they deliver some message."
St. Gregory died in 604. He is considered to be one of 4 great Latin Doctors of the Church and as we referred to him as St. Gregory the Great.
