This week we'll focus on saints of the past.

He found no room in the Holy of Holies that shone with gold, precious stones, pure silk, and silver. He is not born in the midst of gold and riches but in the midst of dung, in a stable, where our sins were filthier than the dung. He is born on a dunghill in order to lift up those who come from it: “From the dunghill he lifts up the poor.” —Jerome, “On the Nativity of the Lord”

Jerome (c. 347–420): major theologian, historian, and biblical scholar best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin, popularly known as the Vulgate.
