THE WORLD THIS WEEK
Before being elected pope, St. Gregory had a great desire to travel to England and preach the Gospel to what he called "angels." The story recounts how St. Gregory was walking in the Roman marketplace and noticed three young men from the island of Britain. Some stories describe these men as enslaved, others as men who came to Rome under their own free will. Being told that they were Angles he quickly replied, "Not Angles but angels! They ought to be made fellow heirs of the angels in heaven. But of what tribe of Angles are they?" "Deira," was the reply. Thereupon the good priest exclaimed, "Of Deira! Then, they are called from the wrath of God to his mercy."
"And what is the name of their king?" "Aella," was the response. Then the priest exclaimed "Aella! Then Alleluia shall be sung in his land."
After this encounter, St. Gregory began to prepare to travel to England to evangelize the Anglo-Saxon people.
He even obtained permission from the pope at the time and was about to set out on a journey with several other missionaries.
The Romans, however, were greatly incensed at the pope's act. With angry words they demanded Gregory's recall, and messengers were at once dispatched to bring him back to Rome.
While St. Gregory was never able to travel to England, he eventually sent St. Augustine of Canterbury to fulfil what he himself was never able to physically accomplish.
