Our task is not one of producing persuasive propaganda; Christianity shows its greatness when it is hated by the world.

Ignatius of Antioch

Be careful, therefore, to take part only in the one Eucharist; for there is only one Flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ and one cup to unite us with His Blood.
IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

Care God Himself Ourselves
Your accord and harmonious love is a hymn to Jesus Christ in perfect harmony, and taking your pitch from God, you may sing in unison and in one voice to the Father through Jesus Christ.
IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

Father God Harmony Love Perfection Voice
It is right, therefore, that we not just be called Christians, but that we actually be Christians.
IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

Dedication Reality Religious Right
Let no man’s place, or dignity, or riches, puff him up; and let no man’s low condition or poverty abase him. For the chief points are faith towards God, hope towards Christ, the enjoyment of those good things for which we look, and love towards God and our neighbor.
IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

It is better for me to die in behalf of Jesus Christ, than to reign over all the ends of the earth.
IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

It is impossible for a man to be freed from the habit of sin before he hates it, just as it is impossible to receive forgiveness before confessing his trespasses.
IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

Let not then any one deceive you, as indeed you are not deceived, inasmuch as you are wholly devoted to God.

I am the wheat of God, and am ground by the teeth of the wild beasts, that I may be found the pure bread of God.

Be obedient to the bishop and to one another, as Jesus Christ was in the flesh to the Father, and the apostles to Christ and to the Father and to the Spirit, so that there may be unity in flesh and in spirit.
IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

Now I begin to be a disciple. Let fire and cross, flocks of beasts, broken bones, dismemberment come upon me, so long as I attain to Jesus Christ.
IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

May nothing entice me till I happily make my way to Jesus Christ! Fire, cross, struggles with wild beasts, wrenching of bones, mangling of limbs – let them come to me, provided only I make my way to Jesus Christ.
IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

Let fire and the cross; let the crowds of wild beasts; let tearings let shatterings of the whole body; and let all the evil torments of the devil come upon me: only let me attain to Jesus Christ.
