St Ignatius of Antioch

Ephesians 2:1-10, Ps.100, Luke 12:13-21

Where is our wealth?

Ignatius of Antioch was an early apostolic father, a bishop who’d been a student of St John. He wrote about the true presence in the Eucharist and is credited with establishing the word Catholic as the name for the church. A martyr, he gave up everything for the richness of his faith, as opposed to the man in the gospels who sought material riches. How do we value the richness of our faith?
