There’s hope for me yet, because St. Jerome reputedly had an awful temper and had zero tolerance for anyone who attempted to teach erroneously within the Catholic Church.
A trilingual Biblical Scholar and Doctor of the Church, he is best remembered for having produced the Latin Vulgate and for writing numerous biblical commentaries, both great works and immense accomplishments.
Prayer for Christ’s Mercy
O Lord, show your mercy to me and gladden my heart. I am like the man on the way to Jericho who was overtaken by robbers, wounded and left for dead. O Good Samaritan, come to my aid, I am like the sheep that went astray. O Good Shepherd, seek me out and bring me home in accord with your will. Let me dwell in your house all the days of my life and praise you for ever and ever with those who are there.
Saint Jerome, Priest, Writer, Doctor of the Church
Incidentally, not only is the above mentioned Doctors of the Church website the BEST!…you also get to listen to my hero, Andrea bocelli while perusing it! What could be better ?
God Bless
