We start every class by invoking the prayers of St. Jerome. Of course, I've explained to them why we do this and who he is, but to be able to play this song for them will be excellent! Thanks for pointing it out, Mike! Barry M. One of the courses I teach as a high school religion teacher is one on the Old Testament to 9th graders.

Thanks so much for this brilliant post! In these days of PC insanity, St. Jerome and Dion and others are my heroes for being BOLD as Lions and tender as doves. I'm sure St. Jerome had his tender moments with his Lord. God Bless the "fierce fighter" in him and others, as we desperately need those in our culture today! We all have our gifts and are called to 'go in peace to love and serve the Lord' after Mass. So...with that said, I hereby would like to say this: Mike, you are truly a disciple of Christ and serving the Lord exquisitely with this blog, all of your many books, talks, pilgrimages, EWTN programs and everything you do! That is why I've tagged you for the Mathetes Award. I welcome you to come by the blog and 'receive' it at your leisure. God Bless you Mike! And I'm looking forward to hearing you this week on www.KVSS.com PAX, susie Mike…I LOVE St. Jerome AND Dion! Thanks so much for this brilliant post!

Still, even those can be helpful in preparing homilies for saints' days.
