In Wisdom is a spiritintelligent, holy, unique,Manifold, subtle, agile,clear, unstained, certain,Not baneful, loving the good, keen,unhampered, beneficent, kindly,Firm, secure, tranquil,all-powerful, all-seeing,And pervading all spirits,though they be intelligent, pure and very subtle.For Wisdom is mobile beyond all motion,and she penetrates and pervades all things by reason of her purity.For she is an aura of the might of Godand a pure effusion of the glory of the Almighty;therefore nought that is sullied enters into her.

Today, on the feast of St. Jerome, Fr. Matthew Tomeny reflects on the fiery saint who gave the Church one of its greatest treasures: the Latin Vulgate Bible. Known for his sharp temper, wit, and zeal, Jerome was like a lion—unyielding in passion, yet tamed by God to become a humble instrument of truth. His life reminds us that even our strongest impulses, when surrendered to Christ, can be directed toward holiness.
