Dive into St. Jeromes most renowned letter, Libellus de virginitate servanda, addressed to St. Eustochium, the young daughter of St. Paula. In this compelling correspondence, St. Jerome passionately encourages Eustochium to embrace the path of virginity while imparting essential lessons on the conduct of a virtuous young woman. Within its pages, you will find his reflections on topics such as the irreversible nature of a fallen virgin (§5), a striking portrayal of fasting and temptation (§7), his unyielding stance on abortion as murder (§13), and the notion of holy pride in virginity (§16)...

In this thought-provoking essay, St. Jerome engages in a robust defense against Helvidius, who argued that the mention of Christs “sisters” and “brethren” in the gospels implies that the Virgin Mary had other children with her husband, Joseph. Jerome counters with three compelling propositions 1) Joseph was only a putative husband to Mary, not a biological one. 2) The “brethren” of the Lord were actually his cousins, rather than siblings. 3) He advocates for the superiority of virginity over marriage. - Summary from the preface

In this compelling treatise, Jerome addresses the controversial views of Jovinianus, who boldly asserted that a virgin holds no greater value than a wife in Gods eyes, and that both abstinence and indulgence in food are equally valid. He claimed that those baptized with the Spirit and water are incapable of sin, that all sins are equal, and that there is but a singular form of punishment and reward in the afterlife. Jovinianus even controversially argued that Christs birth was natural, rather than miraculous. These views were condemned in synods in Rome and Milan around A.D. 390. In response, ...

The Enneagram opens a remarkable window into the truth about us, enabling us to see how image, wounds, lies, triggers, and default responses shape us every bit as much as our faith. But simply diagnosing our number doesn't do justice to who we are. Nor does it necessarily change us or our relationships. Transformation happens as we grow in awareness and learn how to engage and reflect God's image. And relational repair then results as we apply Enneagram insights to the rhythms and grooves of our ordinary daily lives.
