St. Ignatius of Antioch. (? 35-108)

Stand firm in the faith you have made your power of faithfulness and progress in the Way, the Truth, the Life, and follow steadfastly in the steps of the Son of Man as you are led and guided by Our Holy Spirit.

Seek the Father’s will in all things and conform your daily life to the pattern of Him who is your saviour and your power for progress in the Way of holiness and self-giving. All is given to those who offer all to the Father through Love’s indwelling and the light and leading of Our Holy Spirit.

Accept the imprint of the Cross in your daily life and living: so will you be transfigured into a copy of the glory of the Son of Man. Die daily to self that you may live in the fulness of eternal life. I, the Father’s Word and Love Incarnate, speak to every one of the beloved sons and daughters of the Father in every place and time and situation.
