Among the illustrious writers of the early Church, Saint Jerome
(345-420) had a way with words few could equal. To honor the 1600th
anniversary of the death of this patron saint of librarians and
Scripture scholars, the Catholic University of America Press is
releasing The Quotable Jerome, a well-organized collection of
memorable wisdom from this early witness to Catholic truth. While
Jerome is known for acerbic wits, editor Justin McClain shows that
much of the time, Jerome's writings are instructive and even
inspiring. Homilists will easily be able to find what Jerome said
on any number of topics--Scripture, the Trinity, the sacraments,
persecution, heresy, divine revelation, or chastity--just to name a
few. All citations are clearly sourced if the reader wants to
pursue the longer passage in question. "I am upset because I am
human; I control my tongue because I am a Christian. Anger surges
up in my heart, but I do not give vent to it." - Homilies on the
Psalms, Homily 10, Psalm 76 (77) (FOTC 48) "The doer of evil has,
indeed, killed his own soul; but the heretic-the liar-has killed as
many souls as he has seduced." - Homilies on the Psalms, Homily 2,
Psalm 5 (FOTC 48) "The Church does not consist in walls, but in the
truths of her teachings. The Church is there where there is true
faith." - Homilies on the Psalms, Homily 46, Psalm 133 (134) "To
err is human, but to lay snares is diabolical." - Dogmatic and
Polemical Works, The Apology Against the Books of Rufinus, Book
Three, paragraph 33 (FOTC 53) "So much for what Scripture says;
learn now what it means." - Homilies on the Psalms, Homily 15,
Psalm 82 (83) (FOTC 48)
