On The Fifteenth Centenary of the Death of Saint Jerome. Spiritus Paraclitus

Since the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, had bestowed the Scriptures on the human race for their instruction in divine things, He also raised up in successive ages saintly and learned men whose task it should be to develop that treasure and so provide for the faithful plenteous "consolation from the Scriptures". Foremost among these teachers stands St. Jerome. Him the Church acclaims and reveres as her "greatest Doctor," divinely given her for the understanding of the Bible.
