PODCAzT 190 – Voices of the Fathers 05 – St. Jerome's wide open spaces
from Fr. Z's PODCAzTs
I recently rediscovered a slim volume entitled The Osterley Selection from the Latin Fathers, published in 1950. The preface praises the great classical authors yet insists that Christian also worthy. The collection includes brief selections from Fathers of the Church. I am going through the book with podcasts of English translation, comments and the Latin original. Today we hear an excerpt from St. Jerome’s Letter 14 to his friend Heliodorus. Jerome tries to persuade him - in beautiful Latin - to take up the ascetic life again.
