Saints Day

"Traditional Catholic Church"

Today the Traditional Catholic Church also celebrates the Feast of Holy, Saint Ignatius, Bishop, Martyr. He was the second successor of Saint Peter at Antioch. When Domitian persecuted the Catholic’s, Saint Ignatius obtained peace for his own flock by fasting and prayers. But for his part he desired to suffer with Christ, and to give himself as a perfect disciple. In the year 107, Trajan came to Antioch, and forced the Catholic’s to choose between apostasy or death. “Who art thou, poor devil,” the emperor said when Ignatius was brought before him, “who settest our commands at naught?” Call not him “poor devil,” Ignatius answered, “who bears God within him.” And when the emperor questioned him about his meaning, Ignatius explained that he bore in his heart Christ crucified for his sake. Therefore the emperor condemned him to be torn into pieces by the wild beasts at Rome. Saint Ignatius thanked God, Who had so honored him, “binding him in the chains of Paul, His apostle”. He journeyed to Rome, guarded by soldiers, and with no fear except of losing the martyr’s crown. He was devoured by lions in the Roman amphitheatre. The wild beasts left nothing of his body, except a few bones, which were reverently treasured at Antioch, until their removal to the Church of Saint Clement at Rome, in the year 637. After this Holy martyr’s death, there were some Christians who seen him in a vision standing before Christ, and interceding for them. He was martyred about the year 107. "The whole system of Catholic doctrine may be discovered at least in outline in... his seven epistles". He was sent in chains to Rome and being thrown to the wild beasts exclaimed! "May I become agreeable bread to the Lord".
Reflection: Ask Saint Ignatius to obtain for you the grace of profiting by all you have to suffer, and rejoicing in it as a means of likeness to your crucified Redeemer.
