Saint Jerome Emilian, Confessor (20 July) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

On July 20, the Church commemorates St. Jerome Emiliani (Hieronymus Emiliani), Confessor, founder of the Clerks Regular of Somasca and the Patron Saint of Orphans and Abandoned Children. In this moving meditation from Dom Prosper Guéranger's The Liturgical Year, discover the remarkable transformation of a Venetian soldier into one of the Church's greatest apostles of Christian charity. Captured in battle and imprisoned, Jerome entrusted himself to the Blessed Virgin Mary, who miraculously delivered him from captivity. From that moment forward, he dedicated his life entirely to Christ, rescuing orphaned children, caring for the sick, educating the poor, and founding a religious congregation that continues his mission to this day. Dom Guéranger also reflects on the Gospel's call to become like little children, reminding us that true greatness in the Kingdom of Heaven is found in humility, innocence, and sacrificial love.
