Prayer to Saint Jerome to be recited today to ask for a grace

O glorious St. Jerome,
for that amiable zeal that led you to deep study
of the sacred scriptures giving you so much light;

for that spirit of sacrifice and mortification,
for the practices of piety and for the most edifying virtues
to make you ever more useful to the Catholic Church;

and for all the Divine favors you can have in heaven;

be a benevolent protector and get us all
the grace to continually meditate on the truth of faith,
never to seek on earth that be pleasing to God,
and to get more and more excited in the exercises
of penance and good works,
to ensure our eternal salvation.

Amen

Three Glory to the Father.
