Gregory (+303)
Martyr
Gregory was a priest from Spoleto, Italy, of whom we are told that with his virtues and miracles he provoked the wrath and scandal of the authorities of the Roman Empire.
Biography
A hitman named Flaco was sent to this city to make Gregorio submit to the official religion. Not accepting this in any way, Gregory was subjected to all kinds of torture and died beheaded in the middle of the amphitheater, faithful to his faith.
Practical advice
In the midst of your ordinary work, pray for the Pope, the bishops and the priests, remembering that holiness is built in the ordinary.
