September 30, 2013: St. Jerome, Priest and Doctor
Readings
- Zec 8:1-8 "I'm jealous for Zion, will return to Jerusalem, faithful city, holy mountain. I'll rescue my people, bring old and young back to fill city. They shall be my people, and I will be their God.
- Ps 102:16-21, 29, 22-23 "The Lord will build up Zion again, and appear in all his glory." All shall revere you. Lord looked down from heaven to hear groaning, release the doomed. They'll praise the Lord when peoples gather to serve.
- Lk 9:46-50 Disciples argued who was the greatest. Jesus took child, said "Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, the one who sent me. The least is greatest.... Whoever is not against you is for you.”
Music
From heaven the Lord looks down/ Nestor (psalm)
Daily reflections
- Creighton U: God dwells with us. Let's value children, protect life. What's our heart's intention?
- RC.net: How shall we change better to fit the models of the child, and Jesus?
- Sacred Space
- Profile of St. Jerome from Universalis
- Excerpt from St. Jerome's commentary on Isaiah with his well-known warning, "Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ."
- Respect Life week begins today. It fits with all today's readings, but especially Lk 9:48: Whoever receives this child receives me and the one who sent me. The least among you is the greatest.
