St. Gregory of Nyssa

"If you inquire how divinity is conjoined to humanity, you will have first to inquire as to what the coalescence is of the soul with the flesh. If you do not know the manner by which your soul is united to your body, do not imagine that that other question needs to be understood by you either."
- St. Gregory of Nyssa (330 - 395)

Today is the feast day of St. Gregory of Nyssa. Gregory was born in 330 in what is now Turkey. Gregory was also the younger brother of St. Basil. During his life, he became a professor of rhetoric, bishop of Nyssa, and a strong defender of Christianity against the heresy of Arianism, which denied the divinity of Christ. He died in 395. 

St. Gregory of Nyssa, pray for us!
