" I am the wheat of Christ, grain for the Lod. I shall be ground for him through a share in his Cross. I shall be finest bread, bread for the Lord"
St. Ignatius of Antioch
From one of the six letters he wrote to his churchs as he was on his way in captivity to Rome to be thrown as food to the lions.
Thank you both for the beautiful quotes. The Maronite Catholic Church still retains the Anaphora of St. Ignatius, though it has fallen into disuse. The Church has recently begun to restore some of its 72! Anaphoras.
