Gregory to Andrew, the illustrious. May Almighty God make known to your most sweet heart that, even absent in body, I have not departed in mind from your charity. For your good things, even if I wished, I cannot forget. But as to this, that you know me to have arrived at the order of the episcopate, if you love me, lament, because here the occupations of this world are so great that through the order of the episcopate I see myself to be almost separated from the love of God. Which I incessantly bewail, and I ask that you pray to the Lord for me. Moreover, I have transmitted to you the most sacred key from the body of the holy Apostle Peter, which upon the sick is wont to flash with many miracles; for it also has within it something of his chains.
