May our praise sing of Ignatius, prince of a
mighty cohort, brilliant in words and deeds, a commander rousing his soldiers
for battle. Bound by singular love for
the supreme King of the citizens of heaven, he counted nothing happier
than fostering the King’s glory. Hence
he devoted himself and his companions like a fighting army to vindicate the
authority of Christ and drive away the darkness of error. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, a sublime guide
and wise doctor of the world, he pointed out the sure path of salvation. He spread out and sent his disciples to
distant shores of the world, wherever there was a desire for the Church he
fostered joy among the nations. To the Trinity be glory, who grants us to
follow bravely the example of this soldier for the eternal honor of Christ.
Amen.
