Morning Collect: Jerome

O Lord, O God of truth,

your Word is a lantern to our feet

and a light upon our path:

We give you thanks for your servant Jerome,

and those who, following in his steps, have labored

to render the Holy Scriptures in the language of the people;

and we pray that your Holy Spirit will overshadow us

as we read the written Word,

and that Christ, the living Word,

will transform us according to your righteous will;

through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever.

Amen.
