Only let it be in the name of Jesus Christ, that I may suffer together with Him! I endure everything because He Himself, Who is perfect man, empowers me.
Ignatius of AntiochPray without ceasing on behalf of other men...For cannot he that falls rise again?
Ignatius of AntiochIt is better for me to die in behalf of Jesus Christ, than to reign over all the ends of the earth.
Ignatius of AntiochBeing come together in the same place, let there be one prayer, one supplication, one mind, one hope, in love and in joy undefiled. There is one Jesus Christ, than Whom nothing is more excellent. Therefore all should run together as into one temple of God, as to one altar, as to one Jesus Christ, who came forth from the Father, and is with and has gone to one.
