 1 1 |      among these teachers stands St. Jerome. Him the Catholic
 2 1 |         needs of the Church. For St. Jerome - "strenuous Catholic,
 3 4 |     studied Holy Scripture under St. Gregory the Theologian,
 4 7 |      pleasant food: he explained St. Paul's Epistles; he corrected
 5 8 |      this preliminary account of St. Jerome's life and labors

 7 9 |       writers we shall find that St. Jerome in no wise differs
 8 16|                             16.~ St. Jerome's teaching on this
 9 20|    following in the footsteps of St. Augustine and St. Thomas,
10 20|   footsteps of St. Augustine and St. Thomas, most wisely remarks -
11 24|           they even try to claim St. Jerome as a patron of their
12 24|          A strange distortion of St. Jerome's words! He does
13 24|        Thus the Evangelist calls St. Joseph the father of Jesus,
14 24|      from the whole context. For St. Jerome "the true norm of
15 25|                        25.~ Thus St. Jerome is in complete agreement
16 25|          complete agreement with St. Augustine, who sums up
17 27|   believe" (Jn. 19:35). So, too, St. Jerome: after rebuking
18 30| seminaries, to follow closely in St. Jerome's footsteps. If
19 31|          love of the Bible which St. Jerome exhibits in his
20 33|            33.~ But to return to St. Jerome's love of the Bible:
21 33|         Scripture texts; and, as St. Bernard found no taste
22 34|         this earthly pilgrimage, St. Jerome's example shows
23 34|    mightily to me.[53] ~So, too, St. Jerome; even though withdrawn
24 39|         Catholics would cling to St. Jerome's golden rule and
25 40|      when we have done that does St. Jerome invite us to study
26 43|  Venerable Brethren, shall, with St. Jerome as our guide, never
27 44|       just now to the Society of St. Jerome, which we ourselves
28 45|                   45.~ If, then, St. Jerome begs for assiduous
29 45|          Paulinus of the lessons St. Paul gave to Timothy and
30 47|        47.~ We learn, then, from St. Jerome's example and teaching
31 53|       this he often refers us to St. Paul, who, when "explaining
32 54|          plane, they would, with St. Jerome, realize how true
33 54|     Jerome, realize how true are St. Paul's words: "All Scripture
34 55|         man be found faithful" - St. Jerome lays down that we
35 68|  possesses them, for they lie in St. Mary Major's beside the
36 69|     Apostolic blessing.~Given at St. Peter's, Rome, September
