Fed in this silent atmosphere of prayer & study, in his twenties Gregory produced his 1st major work 
a commentary on the "Song of Songs" commissioned by an Armenian prince 
Gergory's most famous work, the "Book of Lamentations", or simply the "Book of Prayer", was written towards the end of his life. At the time Gregory was ill, perhaps with a terminal illness, & yet he found the strength to produce what he called an "encyclopedia of prayer for all nations."

🩹 to God. Each begins with the simple words "Speaking with God from the depths of the heart." Like the psalms , Gregory 's prayers span the breadth of human experience. Above all, they call the wounded soul to prayer & contrition before God
