Saint Jerome

Shalom Class!

Today we celebrate the memory of Saint Jerome, a very important Biblical scholar and a truly great doctor or teacher of the Church.

Saint Jerome's greatest contribution was his translation of the Biblical texts from the original Greek and Hebrew, which were difficult to read and study, into Latin, which was the language used by more people during his time. He believed that every Christian should be able to read and study the Bible. He even said, "Ignorance of Scriptures is Ignorance of Christ."

May Saint Jerome's example and holiness inspire us to study with greater love and devotion God's Word revealed in Scriptures.
