| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Saint Gregory of Nyssa |
 | | There exists a letter addressed to him by Gregory of Nazianzus condoling with him on the loss of one Theosebeia, who must have been his wife, and with whom he continued to live, as with a sister, even after he became bishop. | | | Gregory of Nazianzus, Gregory of Nyssa spent some time, very probably in his early youth, for it is certain that while still a youth Gregory exercised the ecclesiastical office of rector. | | | According to Gregory of Nazianzus it was Basil who performed the episcopal consecration of his brother, before he himself had taken possession of the See of Sozima; which would place the beginning of Gregory of Nyssa's episcopate about 371. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Gregory of Nazianzus |
| | Gregory, in reply to the contention that the Divinity of the Spirit is not expressed in Scripture, quotes and comments on several passages which teach the doctrine by implication, adding that the full manifestation of this great truth was intended to be gradual, following on the revelation of the Divinity of the Son. | | | On his return home Gregory was instrumental in bringing back to orthodoxy his father who, perhaps partly in ignorance, had subscribed the heretical creed of Rimini; and the aged bishop, desiring his son's presence and support, overruled his scrupulous shrinking from the priesthood, and forced him to accept ordination (probably at Christmas, 361). | | | Gregory's anxiety was now to find a learned and zealous bishop who would be able to stem the flood of heresy which was threatening to overwhelm the Christian Church in that place. |

| | St Gregory Nazianzen |
| | Gregory was the fruit of the most earnest prayers of his mother who, upon his birth, offered him to God for the service of his church. | | | Gregory, assured him that the Catholics of Constantinople demanded him for their bishop, and that their choice was most agreeable to his own desires. | | | Here the clamours of the people were so vehement that Gregory might be their bishop that all was in confusion till the saint prevailed upon them to drop that subject and to join in praise and thanksgiving to the ever blessed Trinity for restoring among them the profession of the true faith. |

| | Gregory of Nazianzus |
| | Gregory of Nazianzus, one of the Cappadocian Fathers, loved God, the art of letters, and the human race -- in that order. | | | Among the Fathers of the Church, he alone is known as "The Divine," "The Theologian." | | | Then, on a rainy day, the crowds in the Great Church of Hagia Sophia acclaimed Gregory bishop, after a ray of sunlight suddenly shone on him. |

| | Three of these, Macrina, Basil, and Gregory are honoured as saints; and of the sons, Peter, Gregory, and Basil attained the dignity of the episcopate. | | | In 1081, John, Patriarch of Constantinople, in consequence of a vision, established a feast in common honour of St. Basil, Gregory of Nazianzus, and John Chrysostom, to be celebrated on 30 January. | | | Basil the Elder, father of St. Basil the Great, was the son of a Christian of good birth and his wife, Macrina (Acta SS., January, II), both of whom suffered for the faith during the persecution of Maximinus Galerius (305-314), spending several years of hardship in the wild mountains of Pontus. |

| | 380, St. Gregory of Nazianzus |
| | Gregory of Nazianzus was one of the "Three Cappadocians" who contributed more than most to a more perfect understanding of the Church's doctrine on the Holy Trinity. | | | Gregory the Theologian of Nazianzus was the theological preacher, and St. | | | Gregory in one of his writings vaguely refers to his calling as coming from the "faithful and their shepherds". |

| | St. Gregory Nazianzen (c. 329 - 390) |
| | After a period of troubled work at Nazianzus, during which his friendship with St Basil was marred by his own inability to be belligerent where the things of the church were concerned, he spent five peaceful years in retirement from the affairs of church government. | | | When he was thirty Gregory left Athens and joined St Basil in a life of retreat, prayer and study which foreshadowed the pattern of monastic life both in the east and in the west. | | | Gregory then went home to help his ageing father, who in a manner not uncommon at the time almost forcibly ordained him. |

| | Gregory of Nazianzus and the Trinity |
| | Gregory was the most bold of the Cappadocians to proclaim that the Holy Spirit was God. | | | For example, Gregory of Nyssa, recognising that 'God' and 'man' are not strictly parallel as universal terms, points to the identity of operations in the divine nature, not found in humanity, as the reason for singular case in reference to God. | | | His aim in arguing for the triune nature of God was to proclaim the deity of the Son, learnt from the "great and lofty utterances" of scripture. |

| | Gregory was the eldest son of Saint Nonna and Saint Gregory Nazianzen the Elder, who was a Jew converted by his wife and who was bishop of Nazianzus for 45 years. | | | Gregory is often called "the Theologian" or "the Divine" for the depth and eloquence of his defense of orthodoxy. | | | 329; died in Nazianzus on January 25, 389; Doctor of the Church; feast day formerly May 9 and a second one on June 11 to celebrate the translation of his relics to Rome; in the East his feasts are January 25 and 30. |

| | Ataman Hotel - St. Gregory of Nazianzus |
| | Perhaps in naming Gregory of Nazianzus the Theologian, the Church was saying that poetry expresses the mystery of who God is and how God is better than any linear reasoning. | | | The second of the three Cappadocian Fathers, St. Gregory’s life is also very closely tied with a vehement defense of the First Ecumenical Council, held in Nicaea in 325, and its definition of the Son as being of the same substance as the Father. | | | John’s Prologue to his Gospel and Symeon’s Hymns of Divine Love are both powerful poetic works which also powerfully express the deepest truths of the christian faith. |

| | SBC - Constantinople I |
| | Gregory Nazianzen's father, St. Gregory the Elder, was once a worshipper of the gods. | | | The council was to have a threefold purpose: To confirm the faith of Nicaea; officially to establish St. Gregory as the Bishop of Constantinople; and, by issuing certain regulations, to strengthen the peace the Church was enjoying under Theodosius. | | | Not long after that, Pope St. Gregory the Great placed it among the same when he paralleled the importance of these first four councils with the dignity of honor the four Gospels enjoy among the other inspired books of Scripture. |

| | Cure of the Distressed Soul: The Consolation of Evagrius of Pontus on the Death of Gregory Nazianzus |
| | Evagrius's affection for his teacher Gregory Nazianzus endured throughout his life, evident in that he continued to cite him as one of the spiritual masters. | | | Evagrius's letters to Gregory imply that Gregory also wrote regularly, although no letters from the bishop are extant. | | | These two letters, aside from a few prefatory letters, are the only ones that have thus far been translated into English, and are therefore the ones most often used to develop a portrait of the monk as a theoretician of the spiritual life. |

| | Her husband Gregory was a pagan, a follower of the sect of the Supremists (Hypsistarii), who venerated a supreme god and observed certain Jewish rituals, while at the same time they worshipped fire. | | | "She knew," says St. Gregory the Theologian, "one thing to be truly noble: to be pious and to know from where we have come and where we are going; and that there is one innate and trusty wealth: to use one's substance on God and on the poor, especially the impoverished kin. | | | In the year 370 Bishop Gregory, then already an old man, participated in the consecration of St. Basil the Great as Bishop of Caesarea. |

| | Gregory of Nazianzus - Cambridge University Press |
| | The autobiographical poems of Gregory of Nazianzus, fourth-century Father of the Greek church, are remarkable not only for a highly individual picture of the Byzantine world but also for moments that are intimate, passionate, and moving. | | | The selected poems highlight Gregory’s spiritual outlook and also his poetics; Gregory shows his expertise in a variety of metres and literary dialects, deriving from his knowledge of classical Greek literature. | | | Gregory is best known for the five orations he gave in Constantinople but, De Vita Sua apart, his poems can only be read in a nineteenth-century Greek edition and have never before been translated into English. |
