Feastday: August 6
450 - 523

Pope from 514-523, successor to St. Symmachus, and father of Pope St. Silverius Born in Frosinone, Campagna di Roma, Italy, he was an Italian, although he had a Persian name. Married and widowed prior to ordination, he succeeded St. Symmachus on July 21, 514. One of his great achievements was the ending of the Acacian Schism which had divided the Eastern and Western Churches since 484. The Church in Constantinople was reunited to Rome in 519 as a result of the confession called the Formula of Hormisdas. This document was signed by Patriarch John of Constantinople and 250 Eastern bishops. Hormisdas also received Laurentian schismatics into the Church and secured the acceptance of the Tome of Leo I and the decrees of the Council of Chalcedon and the recognition of the authority of the Holy See over the universal Church.

St. Hormisdas, please continue to pray for us to follow the path of forgiveness and reconciliation in our day to day lives and to become 'small' daily, so that it shall be easier for us to witness the Glory of The Lord.

Like our modern popes St. Hormisdas followed the path of reconcilliation. Please pray for us!

This pope had a significant influence on the way our holy church is organized, yet I don't remember having heard his name before. It is amazing how rich the legacy of our faith.

That Pope Hormisdas was widowed BEFORE ordination is good to know, this certainly helps in defending the Church's rule on celibacy. There's so much attack on the Church now it is really important for us to be educated about our Faith and the lives of the Saints are a very rich source of info on the Church ancient and of modern times. And also a method of leading us to virtue. God bless
