Saint Jerome, who died 1,600 years ago Wednesday, is — this may surprise you — in the news. Pope Francis has him on the brain and last week published an insightful meditation on the saint in the form of the apostolic letter Scripturae Sacrae Affectus, “Devotion to Sacred Scripture.” It is good reading in these dark and anxious times.
