“I am like the sick sheep that strays from the rest of the flock. Unless the Good Shepherd takes me on His shoulders and carries me back to His fold, my steps will falter, and in the very effort of rising, my feet will give way.”
St. Jerome“Never look a gift horse in the mouth.”
Jerome, The Principal Works of St. Jerome“For it is good to cleave to God, and to put our hopes in the Lord, so that, when we have exchanged this poor life for the kingdom of heaven, we may cry aloud: 'Whom have I in heaven but thee? There is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.' Assuredly, when we have found such wealth in heaven, we may well grieve to have sought after poor passing pleasures here on earth.”
Jerome, Select Letters Of St. Jerome“Those who persevere in sin are those who are held in abhorrence by God, but those who abandon the ways of sin are loved by the Lord.”
St. Jerome“I am like the sick sheep that strays from the rest of the flock. Unless the Good Shepherd takes me on His shoulders and carries me back to His fold, my steps will falter, and in the very effort of rising, my feet will give way.”
St. Jerome“Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best.”
St. Jerome
