30 September


. . . is the feast of St. Jerome, “one of the four great fathers of the western church” according to Pius Parsch. “His principal contribution to Christendom is his translation of Sacred Scripture, the mature fruit of painstaking studies. Known as the Vulgate, his work remains to this very day the official version of the Latin Church.” (“The Church’s Year of Grace”, vol. V, pg 246 – Pius Parsch)

If you’re a Discalced Carmelite today is the vigil of the feast of St. Therese of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face. . . .and a fast day.
