[Salvation]

Please pray, through the intercession of St. Jerome, for all scripture
scholars and for all who help others come to a greater understanding
of Sacred Scripture.

Looks like we could all pray to St. Jerome and ask him to guide the bishops who are working on the new ICEL translation for U. S. churches!!!!!!

St. Jerome, Priest, Doctor of the Church (Memorial)

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

Job 19:21-27 Psalm 27:7-9, 13-14 Luke 10:1-12 What a person desires, if he worships it, is to him a god. A vice in the heart is an idol on the altar.  -- St. Jerome

[Convert from ECUSA]

Amen! I've heard that St. Jerome could be quite a curmudgeon and didn't suffer fools gladly. I've also heard that he had a deep love and devotion to Jesus and Mary, and did many penances for his weaknesses. May St. Jerome guide the work on the new ICEL...we could use a few St. Jerome's in our day!
