St. Jerome Emiliani / another Jerome
He committed his whole life and all he owned to helping others. He founded orphanages in other cities, a hospital, and a shelter for prostitutes. This grew into a congregation of priests and brothers that was named after the place where they had a house: the Clerks Regular of Somascha. Although they spent time educating other young people, their primary work was always Jerome’s first love — helping orphans.

Dion
Below is from article above.
His song “The Thunderer” for example, is based on the life and work of St. Jerome, the fourth-century saint who first translated the Bible into Latin. The song juxtaposes Jerome’s prickly personality with his passion for rendering the Scripture into the language of the common man. As the lyrics warn us: “[You] can’t get through life by just being nice / Ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ / Love without truth is just sentimental / Truth without love is sterile.”

I didn’t always see life that way. I was a millionaire before I was twenty years old, self-made up from poverty, and I was pretty impressed with myself. It was the typical rock-star attitude. The truth, however, is that I was living in darkness, falling deeper into the black pit of myself and my hungers. I’m one of the lucky rockers who lived long enough to learn I was wrong, and that’s a grace in itself.
The third memorable thing: On Dec. 14, 1979, he had a vision that changed his life: “I was in a 12-step spiritual recovery program for about 11 years, and I believed in God. But I said a prayer: ‘God, it would be nice to be closer to you.’ Suddenly, my world opened up. I had a vision of Christ and who he was and what he can do and why he stepped into history.
“It changed my life; I’ve never been the same. Ever since that experience, I’ve never had to doubt my self-worth ever again.

The Divine Mercy
“All grace flows from mercy, and the last hour abounds with mercy for us. Let no one doubt concerning the goodness of God; even if a person’s sins were as dark as night, God’s mercy is stronger than our misery. One thing alone is necessary; that the sinner set ajar the door of his heart, be it ever so little, to let in a ray of God’s merciful grace, and then God will do the rest.” (No. 1507) From the Diary of Sister Faustina
