Image
Woman is the gate of the devil, the road to iniquity, the sting of the scorpion, in a word, a dangerous species.
St. Jerome
Image
Sometimes the character of the mistress is inferred from the dress of her maids.
St. Jerome
Image
The charges we bring against others often come home to ourselves we inveigh against faults which are as much ours as theirs and so our eloquence ends by telling against ourselves.
St. Jerome
Image
Do not let your deeds belie your words, lest when you speak in church someone may say to himself, Why do you not practice what you preach?
St. Jerome
Image
If Christ did not want to dismiss the Jews without food in the desert for fear that they would collapse on the way, it was to teach us that it is dangerous to try to get to heaven without the Bread of Heaven.
St. Jerome
Image
The Church of Christ has been founded by shedding its own blood, not that of others by enduring outrage, not by inflicting it. Persecutions have made it grow martyrdoms have crowned it.
St. Jerome
Image
A vice in the heart is an idol on the altar.
St. Jerome

St. Jerome
Image
That rain is the best which falls steadily on the earth. A sudden and excessive downpour ruins the fields.
St. Jerome
Image
A man who is well grounded in the testimonies of the Scripture is the bulwark of the Church.
St. Jerome
Image
No created mind, no created heart, no human force is capable of knowing how much love the Heart of Mary had for the Lord.
St. Jerome
Image
Early impressions are hard to eradicate from the mind. When once wool has been dyed purple, who can restore it to its previous whiteness?
St. Jerome
Image
The Scriptures are shallow enough for a babe to come and drink without fear of drowning and deep enough for theologians to swim in without ever reaching the bottom.
St. Jerome
Image
Marriage is good for those who are afraid to sleep alone at night.
St. Jerome
Image
Even while living in the world, the heart of Mary was so filled with motherly tenderness and compassion for men that no-one ever suffered so much for their own pains, as Mary suffered for the pains of her children.
St. Jerome
