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)

St. Jerome (347-420) has been considered the pre-eminent scriptural
commentator among the Latin Church Fathers. His Commentary on
Matthew, written in 398 and profoundly influential in the West,
appears here for the first time in English translation. Jerome
covers the entire text of Matthew's gospel by means of brief
explanatory comments that clarify the text literally and
historically. Although he himself resided in Palestine for forty
years, Jerome often relies on Origen and Josephus for local
information and traditions. His stated aim is to offer a
streamlined and concise exegesis that avoids excessive spiritual
interpretation. Jerome depends on the works of a series of
antecedent commentators, both Greek and Latin, the most important
of whom is Origen, yet he avoids the extremes in Origen's
allegorical interpretations. His polemic against theological
opponents is a prominent thrust of his exegetical comments. The
Arians, the Gnostics, and the Helvidians are among his most
important targets. Against Arius, Jerome stresses that the Son did
not lack omniscience. Against Marcion and Mani, Jerome holds that
Jesus was a real human being, with flesh and bones, and that men
become sons of God by their own free choice, not by the nature with
which they are born. Against Helvidius, Jerome defends the
perpetual virginity of Mary. In this commentary, Jerome calls
attention to the activity of the Trinity as a principal unifying
theme of the Gospel of Matthew. He also stresses that exertions are
necessary for the Christian to attain eternal salvation; that free
will is a reality; that human beings cooperate with divine grace;
and that it is possible to obtain merit during the earthly life.
Saint Jerome is an ancient Latin Christian priest, confessor,
theologian and historian, and who became a Doctor of the Church.
Though often considered exclusively a saint of the Roman Catholic
Church, Jerome was a Latin Christian who predated the East-West
Schism which occurred in the 11th century. He was the son of
Eusebius, of the city of Stridon, which was on the border of
Dalmatia and Pannonia. He is best known for his translation of the
Bible into Latin (the Vulgate), and his commentaries on the Gospel
of the Hebrews. His list of writings is extensive. He is recognised
by the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Lutheran
Church, and the Church of England (Anglican Communion) as a
saint.Jerome is commemorated on 30 September with a memorial. the
Vitae Patrum (Vita Pauli primi eremitae), a biography of Saint Paul
of Thebes; the Vita Malchi monachi captivi (ca. 391), probably
based on an earlier work, although it purports to be derived from
the oral communications of the aged ascetic Malchus originally made
to him in the desert of Chalcis; the Vita Hilarionis, of the same
date, containing more trustworthy historical matter than the other
two, and based partly on the biography of Epiphanius and partly on
oral tradition.
