Memorial of Saint Jerome, Priest and Doctor of the Church

For if, as Paul says, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God, and if the man who does not know Scripture does not know the power and wisdom of God, then ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.

A commentary on Isaiah by St Jerome, Today’s Office

Jerome (/dʒəˈroʊm/LatinEusebius Sophronius HieronymusGreek: Εὐσέβιος Σωφρόνιος Ἱερώνυμος; c. 347 – 30 September 420), also known as Jerome of Stridon, was a Latin priestconfessor, theologian, and historian; he is commonly known as Saint Jerome.

Devotion to sacred Scripture, a “living and tender love” for the written word of God: this is the legacy that Saint Jerome bequeathed to the Church by his life and labours. https://t.co/OSaNDBkcIs

i thought the best question asked last night at the debate is the one i want to contemplate this morning…“why shouldn’t i be different than you?”

Today’s Scriptures

Why, O LORD, do you reject me;

why hide from me your face?

and looks to what was left behind is fit for the Kingdom of God.”
