St. Jerome Catholic Bible Study System

Welcome to the St. Jerome Catholic Bible Study System

“Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.”
—St. Jerome

The St. Jerome Catholic Bible Study System is a Scripture-based formation experience rooted in the sacred tradition of the Church, guided by the teachings of the Magisterium, and formed for everyday Catholics—no matter where you are on your journey of faith.

This system was prayerfully created to help Catholics not only read the Bible, but to enter into the Word of God—to study it with the mind, encounter it with the heart, and live it with confidence and devotion.

WHY THIS MATTERS

At its heart, verse mapping isn’t just about understanding words—it’s about encountering the Word Himself. This program is for anyone who’s ready to:

• Study the Bible in a meaningful, approachable way

• Discover how Scripture can speak directly into your life

• Build a habit of personal, prayerful engagement with God’s Word

---

A System Grounded in Tradition and Designed for Growth

Each program in the St. Jerome System offers:

• A structured method for engaging with Scripture

• Tools and study formats tailored to different learning styles

• Journals, study companions, and hands-on materials

• Guidance that remains faithful to Church teaching

Whether you are studying alone, within your family, or in a parish group, this system will guide you step-by-step in growing in Scripture knowledge- and in knowing Christ more intimately through His Word.

 Many of these study tools, printed journals, and spiritual companions will be available through  thecatholicshoppe.com – a sacred space thoughtfully prepared to support your Scripture journey.

Core Study Programs

The system includes multiple paths of study, each focused on a different approach to Scripture engagement:

Basic Foundational Level

Have you ever read a Bible verse and wondered, “What does that really mean for me?”

The Basic Level of the Verse Mapping Program is a unique, hands-on way to explore Scripture one verse at a time—with intention, curiosity, and connection to Christ. This isn’t about memorization or academic study. It’s about slowing down, noticing what speaks to your heart, and uncovering the deeper meaning behind God’s Word.

You’ll learn how to:

• Reflect deeply on scripture verse(s) that call to you.

• Discover focus words and themes -using visual mapping techniques

• Explore definitions and cross-references that deepen and widen your knowledge of God’s Word

• Begin exploring Catholic resource materials to guide your spiritual study

• Pray, reflect and journal your own response to the Word connects to  your Catholic faith

• Begin recognizing how Scripture speaks to your life for a closer relationship with Christ

All of this is done in a peaceful, guided format—with tools to help you stay organized and encouraged as you go. No background in theology is needed—just a desire to grow in your relationship with God through His Word.

Perfect for those beginning their Scripture journey, or for Catholics looking
for a  fresh, reflective way to study the Bible.

Advanced Level

For those ready to take their verse mapping deeper, the Advanced Level builds on the foundational method and introduces tools to enrich your spiritual and intellectual understanding.

You’ll still engage with verse (s) that speak to you but now, you’ll journey deeper to:

• Connect scripture passages with expanded tools for deeper meaning and connection

• Apply art forms as an adjunct to the study of God’s Word.

• Reflect on insights from saints and Church tradition

• Document personal application through deeper journaling and prayer

The Advanced Level invites you into a richer experience of God’s Word—not through complexity, but through deeper reflection.
“It’s a way of moving from ‘How can I apply this verse study in my life?’ to ‘What is Christ inviting me to do through this verse for a closer relationship with Him and the Church?’”

Ideal for those who have completed the Basic Level or want to integrate
Scripture more deeply into daily prayer, group study, or long-term formation.
