St. Jerome, Priest Confessor and Doctor of the Church (30 September) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

Saint Jerome (c. 347–420), priest, confessor, and Doctor of the Church, is one of Christianity’s greatest scholars and defenders of the faith. Born in Dalmatia, Jerome pursued learning and asceticism with tireless zeal. From the deserts of Syria to the sacred caves of Bethlehem, his life was marked by penance, scholarship, and devotion to the Word of God. 🔥 Best known for his monumental translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate), Jerome’s legacy shaped Western Christianity and remains vital to this day. He defended the perpetual virginity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, stood boldly against heresies, and mentored noble women like St. Paula and St. Eustochium in the ways of Scripture and holiness. This video recounts the extraordinary journey of St. Jerome—his studies, trials, friendships, controversies, and sanctity—showing how he became both “the scourge of heretics” and the faithful servant of Christ’s Word. 🙏 May his zeal for truth, prayer, and sacred study inspire us to deeper love of Scripture and fidelity to Christ. 00:00 St. Jerome & the Chair of Peter 00:40 Early life & conversion 01:04 Penance in the Syrian desert 01:27 Jerome learns Hebrew 01:44 Love Scripture, conquer vice 02:49 Return to Rome 03:05 Pope Damasus & the New Testament 03:21 Defending Our Lady’s perpetual virginity 03:52 Catholic nobility of Rome 05:04 Marcella & Roman monasticism 05:46 Opposition forces Jerome from Rome 06:25 Bethlehem & St. Paula 06:56 The Vulgate 08:32 Revising the Psalms 09:26 Jerome teaches Catholic women 10:13 Preparing souls for Christ 10:51 Death of St. Paula 11:29 The fall of Rome 11:44 Caring for refugees 12:38 Pelagian attack on the monasteries 13:22 Liturgical life of St. Jerome 14:25 Four years in the desert 14:58 Jerome returns to Bethlehem 15:24 Oracle of Sacred Scripture 15:48 Defender of Catholic doctrine 16:19 Death of St. Jerome 16:42 Guéranger’s prayer to St. Jerome 17:21 Scourge of heretics & defender of Mary 17:47 Unlocking the mysteries of Scripture 18:03 The Church’s interpreter of Scripture 18:27 How Catholics should study the Bible 19:06 The science that endures forever 📌 Key Topics Covered St. Jerome’s early life in Dalmatia and Rome His desert penances and study of Hebrew Friendship with St. Paula, St. Eustochium, and the Roman nobility The translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate) His theological debates and defense of the Virgin Mary The fall of Rome and his final years at Bethlehem https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/september/september-30-st-jerome-priest-confessor-and-doctor-of-the-church/ #StJerome #CatholicSaints #DoctorOfTheChurch #ChurchHistory #Vulgate #CatholicFaith #Christianity #BibleHistory #CatholicChurch #Saints 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
