Now I begin to be a disciple. I care for nothing, of visible or invisible things, so that I may but win Christ. Let fire and the cross, let the companies of wild beasts, let breaking of bones and tearing of limbs, let the grinding of the whole body, and all the malice of the devil, come upon me; be it so, only may I win Christ Jesus!
Ignatius of AntiochDo everything as if He were dwelling in us. Thus we shall be His temples and He will be within us as our God - as He actually is.
Ignatius of AntiochI hunger for the bread of God, the flesh of Jesus Christ ...; I long to drink of his blood, the gift of unending love.
