3 September: St. Gregory I, “the Great”

In the newer calendar today is the feast of St. Pope Gregory the Great.

Here is this Pope’s entry in the Roman Martyrology. There might be a slight flaw in the Latin text.

Can you find it?

Memoria sancti Gregorii Magni, papae et Ecclesiae doctoris, qui, vita monastica inita, munere legati Constantinopoli functus est et, ad Sedem Romanam hac die tandem electus, et terrena composuit et sacra servus servorum curavit. Verum se exhibuit pastorem in rebus regendis, in egenis omnimodo subveniendo, in vita monastica fovenda, necnon in fide ubique firmanda vel propaganda, quapropter multa etiam de re morali ac pastorali egregie scripsit. Obiit vero die duodecima martii.
