Today the Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Jerome, Priest and Doctor of the Church. His comment about ignorance of Scripture still resonates with us almost sixteen hundred years later. Are we reading the Bible and studying what it contains? Are we praying with the Sacred Scriptures? Is our life being impacted in a positive way because we are growing in our knowledge of the Scriptures, and subsequently, our knowledge of Christ? If we need a boost in our Scripture study, today would be a good day to start.
