Gospel of the Day (Luke 9,57-62)

As Jesus and His disciples were proceeding on their journey someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
Jesus answered him, "Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head."
And to another he said, "Follow me." But he replied, "Lord, let me go first and bury my father."
But he answered him, "Let the dead bury their dead. But you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
And another said, "I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say farewell to my family at home."
Jesus answered him, "No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit for the kingdom of God."

Saint Jerome, priest and Doctor of the Church: born in Dalmatia, in Rome he became an exceptional scholar and cultivated a zeal for the arts and letters, and was baptized there. Attracted strongly to a life of contemplation and embracing an ascetic life, he traveled to the East and was ordained a priest. Upon returning to Rome, he became secretary to Pope Damasus I; he later settled in Bethlehem of Judea and withdrew to a monastic way of life. Through the translation and exposition of Sacred Scripture, he proved to be an outstanding Doctor. He countered in a most admirable way the many threats against the Church, and when he had lived to an advanced age, he finally went to his rest in peace.

Saint Jerome, Priest and Doctor of the Church, pray for us!
