"Saint Ignatius of Antioch"

Martyred in the Coloseum in the year 107, St Ignatius was The Third Bishop of Antioch. His writings dealt with the Organizational and Spiritual aspects of The Church.

From the very beginnings of Christianity, there have always been Persecutions, attacks, and even betrayals by our very Bretheren within The Church, which eventually brought about His Martyrdom in Rome.

Since Satan respects no boundaries, he has even infiltrated within The Church, for the sole purpose of Perverting Her Doctrines, Weakening The Faith of The People of God, with the sole purpose of the eventual Destruction of The Mystical Body of Christ.

We know that all of Hell was Unleashed against The Sacred Body of Christ in The Crucifixion, and rather than succeed in Our Lord's Demise, it was by the very Cross Itself with which Our Lord Conquered Hell, and Redeemed Mankind.

So it is today, we see the shredding of Christ's Teaching on Sin, Prelates, excusing rather than Forgiving, Ignoring Imorality rather than Inspiring Virtue, worshipping False gods in the name of "Ecumenism" and sadly focusing more on thier coffers than on the Spiritual welfare of The Faithful.

Yet this should not surprise us, for we are at War, a war not for earthly Power, but a War for the Soul of each and every Man, Woman and Child.

As there was left not one single place on the beaten body of our Saviour without a wound, there should be no wonder that this full Frontal Attack on The Church and Her Teachings, from without and from within, effects Every aspect of our Faith and The Teachings of Christ.

The greatest weaponry against such Evil will always be Prayer and pennance, Especially The prayer to St Micheal The Archangel and The Holy Rosary.

Satan and his minions will have us Directing all of our attention, First on "Humanism" which focuses on "Man" as the center of all things, devoid of any Consideration of The Divine. And Second by listening to those who call themselves "Intellectuals" believing that somehow we Humans can, "Save the Planet," utillizing the Fear of our complete demise, proclaiming that if we don't act upon our "Emotions immediately, our extermination is inevitable

This "Frenzy of "Preoccupation" for Externals, coupled with Emotional hysteria, will keep one from focusing on the "Inner Self" which once in disarray will effect all of Society and even the Natural Order itself, thus becoming a self fulfilling Prophecy.

Therefore it is of the utmost Importance that we Realize as Individuals Redeemed by Christ, that the "Interior, well being" of the Soul should be the Priority, for once in Order, that which guides our actions will be Reason and Common Sense Infused with the Peace and Strength that proceeds from True Faith.

In other words, if I desire to "Change the world for the Better, I Must First and foremost clean up my own world "Within," and only after I have rid my soul of those ellements that Destroy Interior Peace, then and only then, will I be able to make the world a better place.

God Bless You
