It is a cool and damp day in Cheyenne as the month of September draws to a close. The season of autumn can be felt today. While I enjoy the changing of the seasons I am not thrilled with the approach of winter. Shortened daylight, gusting winds, heavy snowfalls, and frigid temperatures are not that appealing to me. I will enjoy the beauty of fall for as long as possible.
The Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Jerome today. He was a Priest and Doctor of the Church. St. Jerome is the patron saint of Scripture scholars. His famous line still resonates with us today, “Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.” Hopefully, that line will propel us into a more diligent study of the Sacred Scriptures.
Is reading, studying, and praying with the Sacred Scriptures part of your daily routine? If so, how can you enhance this time with the Lord? If not, how can you incorporate this into your daily regimen of activities? Allow God’s Word to penetrate deeply into your mind and heart so that you may faithfully sing His praises!
