A Prayer for the Feast Day of Jerome, Priest and Monk of Bethlehem

Almighty God, we praise you for the men and women you have sent to call the Church to its tasks and renew its life, such as your servant Jerome. Raise up in our own day teachers and prophets inspired by your Spirit, whose voices will give strength to your Church and proclaim the reality of your kingdom; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
