Around 382 A.D. St. Jerome translated the Bible from Hebrew & Greek into Latin; the Latin he used was Vulgate – the common persons Latin, not Classical Latin. 

St. Jerome said, “Ignorance of the scriptures is ignorance of Christ.”

To be a disciple of Jesus Christ we need to pray & read the scriptures, so that the faith we have been given can grow stronger.  The mustard seed of Faith can move a mountain; it can move the mountain of our indifference, our selfishness, & our sinfulness.

St. Paul said to “take the words … of faith & love that are in Jesus Christ” & make them our guiding principles & allow the Holy Spirit to dwell within us & guide us.

Reflect for a few moments on how precious your Gift of Faith is to you & on how much time & effort you are committing to being the best Catholic you can BE!

May God Be Blessed!
