| | Ignatius of Antioch |
 | | Ignatius, also called Theophorus, sends heartiest greetings to Polycarp, who is bishop of the Church of Smyrna, or rather has for his bishop God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. | | | Ignatius, also called Theophorus, to the Church of God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, which is at Philadelphia in Asia; a church which has found mercy and is irrevocably of one mind with God; which unwaveringly exults in the Passion of Our Lord, and firmly believes in His Resurrection through sheer mercy. | | | Ignatius, also called Theophorus, to the holy Church at Tralles in Asia, loved by God the Father of Jesus Christ; elect and an honor to God; enjoying inward and outward peace through the Passion of Jesus Christ, who is our hope when we rise to be with Him. |

| | St. Ignatius of Antioch |
| | Ignatius wrote letters to be carried back to these various churches, exhorting the members to keep in harmony with their bishops and other clergy, to assemble often in prayer, to be meek and humble, and to suffer injuries without protest. | | | Ignatius of Antioch, surnamed Theophorus, which in Greek means "God-Bearer," was probably a convert and disciple of St. John the Evangelist. | | | Finally, it is in his letter to the church of Smyrna that for the first time in Christian literature "the Catholic Church"[6] is spoken of. |

| | IGNATIUS, who is also called Theophorus, to Polycarp, bishop of the church which is at Smyrna; their overseer, but rather himself overlooked by God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ; all happiness. | | | NOW forasmuch as the church of Antioch in Lyria is, as I am told, in peace through your prayers; I also have been the more comforted, and without care in God; if so be that by suffering, I shall attain unto God; and through your prayers I may be found a disciple of Christ. | | | IGNATIUS TO POLYCARP CHAPTER I. Ignatius blesses God for the firm, establishment of Polycarp in the faith, and gives him particular directions for improving it. |

| | Patres - Volume 9, Issue 5 |
| | Tradition holds that Ignatius (A.D. 30-107) was a disciple of the apostle John and the second or third Bishop of the church at Antioch after Peter the Apostle. | | | Ignatius quotes the New Testament continually, citing passages from the canonical books, including books that many claim to have been written long after the close of the first century, like the Gospel of John. | | | These seven letters of Ignatius, however, provide a glimpse into a church at the beginning of the second century that was fully aware of the New Testament canon which is only later finalized. |

| | Ignatius was bishop of the Church of Antioch in the early 2nd Century. | | | Ignatius believed he possessed the gift of prophecy - but not to the extent of any of the apostles, and his main themes concerned the leadership of the Church (one bishop per area), and the condemnation of Docetist ideas (that Christ only appeared to be a man). | | | Six of the seven letters were addressed to churches (Ephesus, Magnesia, Tralles, Rome, Philadelphia and Smyrna) and the seventh to Polycarp, bishop of Smyrna. |

| | CHURCH FATHERS: The Martyrdom of Ignatius |
| | Wherefore the noble soldier of Christ [Ignatius], being in fear for the Church of the Antiochians, was, in accordance with his own desire, brought before Trajan, who was at that time staying at Antioch, but was in haste [to set forth] against Armenia and the Parthians. | | | For only the harder portions of his holy remains were left, which were conveyed to Antioch and wrapped in linen, as an inestimable treasure left to the holy Church by the grace which was in the martyr. | | | Wherefore, continuing a few years longer with the Church, and, like a divine lamp, enlightening every one's understanding by his expositions of the [Holy] Scriptures, he [at length] attained the object of his desire. |

| | The Solemnity of St. Ignatius of Antioch |
| | Watch The Magic Cottage!” However exalted the title of martyr might be in the Church, in our family martyrs were viewed with distinct disfavor: in their 1950’s and 1960’s suburban American manifestation they were weak, manipulative, and, in the larger world, masochistic and lacking in self-esteem and self-worth. | | | And, indeed, I have sometimes entertained the fantasy of what might have happened if our holy patron, St. Ignatius of Antioch, the External Solemnity of whose Feast we keep this day, had had to undergo the psychiatric examination required of American Episcopal bishops prior to his consecration as Bishop of Antioch. | | | But St. Ignatius unquestionably seemed eager to encounter “the lion’s gory mane,” of which we shall shortly sing. |
