S. IGNATIUS, B. M.
(A.D. 107.)
[S. Ignatius is commemorated variously, on June 10th, Oct. 8th, Nov.
24th, Dec. 14th or 19th; but by the Roman Martyrology his festival
is fixed for Feb. 1st. In the Bruges and Treves Martyrologies, his
commemoration was placed on Jan. 31st, so as not to interfere with
that of S. Bridget on this day. The authorities for his life and
passion are his own genuine Epistles, the Acts of his martyrdom,
Eusebius, and S. Chrysostom's Homily on S. Ignatius.]
Saint Ignatius was a convert and disciple of S. John the Evangelist.
He was appointed by S. Peter to succeed Evodius in the see of Antioch,
and he continued in his bishopric full forty years. He received the
name of Theophorus, or one who carries God with him. In his Acts,
Trajan is said to have asked him why he had the surname of
God-bearing, and he answered, because he bore Christ in his heart.[1]
