Monday as we wait for the coming the Spirit and Gregory of Nazianzus (329–389), who became Patriarch of Constantinople.

                                 Psalm 89:1a,2a

Your 

love,O 

Lord 

for ever 

will 

I sing, 

for I am persuaded that 

your love is established for ever. 

Today we celebrate 

Gregory of Nazianzus 

(329–389), who became Patriarch of Constan-tinople. He was one of the Cappadocian Fa-thers, so called because they were all from the Cappadocia region of modern day Turkey, along with Basil the Great, (330–379), Bishop of Caesarea; and Basil's younger brother Greg-ory of Nyssa (c.332–395), who was bishop of Nyssa, to whose august company the Lutherans add their sister Marcina, Monas-tic Teacher, (327-385) and celebrates them all as a group on June 14). We celebrate them individually.

                              “God always remains greater than anything we can know of him.”
