St. Jerome Comments
St. Jerome, who was born Eusebius Hieronymous Sophronius, was the most learned of the Fathers of the Western Church. He was born about the year 342 at Stridonius, a small town at the head of the Adriatic, near the episcopal city of Aquileia. His father, a Christian, took care that his son was well instructed at home, then sent him to Rome, where the young man's teachers were the famous pagan grammarian Donatus and Victorinus, a Christian ...

Does anyone know why St Jerome is usually pictured in an orange colored robe?
omg!!! St. Jerome is legendary thank you for that information it has helped alot
I am doing a school history project on St. Jerome and this [age is so helpful to me.
Thank you for this very good article about St. Jerome. Well written, is your name Jerome also?! We could use a guy like Jerome now in our times, but he was so valuable in his time. God does marvolous things with people sometimes. Jerome is a good example that being a saint does not require perfection in thought or deed. But St. Jerome perfected his talents, and then tirelessly served God with them. What a choice he made to stick to the work that he was gifted for. I am more impressed by his effort then his ability. Job well done!! It must have required much grace from above. So it doesn't really matter what you do, just how and why you do it! Thanks be to God
Hello. This is actually Jerome, in heaven. We just recently got internet and google so i found this and ... Thank all of you for the kindness. But dont talk about me anymore i dont like you guys
My uncle thought he was St. Jerome.
I THINK THAT ST.JEROME IS INSPIRATIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a cradle Catholic; a graduate of Jesuit High School and College. Of all the courses I have had in religious topics, I found this discussion on St. Jerome, the most interesting and complete of any topic to date. I have been party to a number of discussions about this saint, but many of these discussions have been very critical of his attitude toward women. It was refreshing to read a biography that is so well balanced toward his devotion to his faith and his personal characteristics. Thank you for this opportunity to comment.
This was the most helpful site that I have seen so far I need info on st Jerome because he is my confirmation saint. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi!
well i have been doing a saint biogrophy project for my 8th grade religion class and this, by far, has been the most helpful and acurate website-which i have decided after comparing nuemorous amounts of information.
I would like to thank you for all of your help . wish me luck -for because of you chances are i will be reciveing an A for this specified project
Seeing St Jerome's temperament even when he was making corrections, it makes me understand that really God can make saints or doctor of the church of anyone. What can make a difference is how much is one willing to do for the love even though he/she may not understand it as love for Him at the time when one is doing it.
THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!! for all your good comments THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
St. Jerome is truly inspirational
Why isn't the author listed?
Finally, a bio on great saint with great treatment! Thank you!

I am honored to have my birthday on the feast day of this wonderful Saint, I've never read anything on him but wsa called to read his great story...St. Jerome pray for us.
Can you imagine having the knowledge and experience of Saint Jerome? He is like the Michael Jordan of languages and Bible translation and reformation. How I would pray for one iota of his experience and knowlege. God bless Saint Jerome for always holding true to his beliefs and please, Saint Jerome, pray for me that I too can become worthy of our precious Lord.
i am doing homework and this thing didnt help me at all.
I am a deacon at my parish and I am scheduled to deliver the homily on the feast day of St. Jerome. I wanted a resource that would have some meat and bones on it for my own purposes. Your account of his life was just what I was looking for. Thank you for providing a rich resource. I am more than a little impressed.
God bless.
This is my saint for confermation
