Gregory, with his brother Basil the Great and Gregory Nazianzus is considered to
be on the Cappadocian fathers. He was
born in Turkey
and made Bishop by his brother Basil so
as to have an ally in the area. He is
known chiefly for helping develop the idea of the Trinity and the infinity of
God.
He was deposed twice by the Aryans, but
continued to be a strong defender against their teaching.

Heavenly Father, you
raised up your servant Gregory of Nyssa to proclaim the Christian faith of one
God in trinity of persons. Strengthen
us, that like him we may continue steadfast in proclaiming the truth
faith. This we ask through Yeshuah
HaMoshiach, our Lord and Saviour who lives and reigns with you and the Ruach
haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting.
Amen. (white)
