Oratio for the Feast of St. Jerome, 30 September, current Liturgy of the hours and Missal:
"Deus, qui beato Hieronymo, presbytero, suavem et vivum Scripturæ sacræ affectum tribuisti, da, ut populus tuus verbo tuo uberius alatur et in eo fontem vitæ inveniat. Per".
The phrase ("ille suavis et vivus sacrae scripturae affectus," that sweet and lively affection for Holy Scripture) comes from Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy/Sacrosanctum Concilium 24:
Sacred scripture is of the greatest importance in the celebration of the liturgy. For it is from scripture that lessons are read and explained in the homily, and psalms are sung; the prayers, collects, and liturgical songs are scriptural in their inspiration and their force, and it is from the scriptures that actions and signs derive their meaning. Thus to achieve the restoration, progress, and adaptation of the sacred liturgy, it is essential to promote that warm and living love for [sacred] scripture to which the venerable tradition of both eastern and western rites gives testimony.
