Today the catholic church remembers St Jerom, a
confessor and doctor of the Church. He was born in yugoslovia in the year 341
and died on 30th September 420. He studied in Rome and then travelled for years
in a passionate search for Kowgledge.
After his ordination in he went to Rome and served the
pope for five years as secretary and revised the Bible. He translated some of
the books of old testament newly from Hebrew and Aramic.
1. These are some of his sayings: the reading of Holy
Scriptures should follow upon prayer and prayer in turn should follow
reading."
2. Ignorance of the Scripture is ignorance of Christ.
3. Always be doing something, so that whether God or
the devil comes to you, you may be found with your hands full.
Today as we remember him we ask though his
intersession that we may have interest in reading the bible so to know Jesus
more in our life for whom we have dedicated our whole life.
In order to participate worthily in this Holy
Eucharist we ask pardon from God for our sins.
Dear Friends after listening to the readings of today
we can reflect upon our lives and ask, do I make any excuse to fulfill the will
of God. We all of us are working for one cause that is to establish kingdom of
God. Without prayer and meditation our focus seems to be deeming. We forget who
and what we are. We are just like the man who is ploughing the field looking
behind.
Though this holy Eucharist we ask the grace of God
that we will be faithful in establishing the kingdom of God where ever we are.
