Patristica

Sharing wisdom from the early church fathers

[Patristica @Patristica2]

My love has been crucified, and there is no fire in me desiring to be fed; but there is within me a water that liveth and speaketh, saying to me inwardly, Come to the Father.

- Ignatius of Antioch (Epistle to the Romans, ch. 7)

[Patristica @Patristica2]

"All the pleasures of the world, and all the kingdoms of this earth, shall profit me nothing. It is better for me to die in behalf of Jesus Christ, than to reign over all the ends of the earth." - St. Ignatius of Antioch (Epistle to the Romans, ch. 6)
