10. Like me, his family was from Sicily.
9. He founded seven monasteries on his various estates.
8. He was friends with St. Leander of Seville, on whose feast day is my birthday.
7. He was quick with a pun. ("Angles? Don't you mean angels?")
6. He insisted that priests and bishops act like real priests and bishops.
5. The Moralia in Iob.
4. He converted the Lombards from Arianism (not to be outdone by St. Leander, who did the same for the Visigoths).
3. The Gregorian Sacramentary.
2. He had unparalleled taste in liturgical music.
1. The Cura Pastoralis.
