St. Gregory Nazianzen, Bishop, Confessor, and Doctor of the Church

St. Gregory was educated at Athens in all the sciences with St. Basil the Great. He became bishop of Nazianzen and his profound knowledge earned for him the title of Doctor and Theologian, titles confirmed by the Church. He died in 389.

This morning I successfully completed my first exam (other than the German exam, which was held two weeks ago because the teacher is due to give birth any time now). This morning's exam was on the Pentateuch, a rather broad topic to say the least. Msgr. also returned to me the paper I wrote for this class, which is linked on the sidebar as usual. It's on The Expiatory Power of Blood.

On an unrelated note, in about an hour we'll be making our last shopping trip of the year to the Hofer, how sad! {:-(

But we'll be buying more beer than usual in order to bring home as much as the airline's (miniscule) weight allowance allows.
