Saint Jerome (circa 347 – 420) was a Latin Catholic priest, theologian, and historian. He was born at Stridon, a village near Emona on the border of Dalmatia and Pannonia. At one point, with a desire for a life of ascetic penance, Jerome went for a time to the desert of Chalcis, to the southeast of Antioch, and during this period, he seems to have found time for studying and writing. His list of writings are extensive, but he is best known for his translation of much of the Bible into Latin, and his commentaries on the Gospels.
Quotes by Saint Jerome…
The proverbial expressions about the grave, woman’s love, dry earth and eternal fire are enigmatic, but they have a deeper meaning: inordinate love is insatiable.
