Saint of the day and spiritual life #Ignace

Selon la tradition, Ignace fut disciple des apôtres Pierre et Jean, et aurait connu personnellement plusieurs témoins directs de Jésus-Christ. Né vers 35 dans la province de Syrie et mort à Rome en martyr, probablement en 107 ou 113, Ignace fut le troisième évêque d'Antioche, après saint Pierre et Évode, à qui il succéda vers 68.

Ignatius of Loyola was born in 1491 in the castle of Loyola, Spain, into a noble Basque family. Attracted by glory, honor, and worldly pleasures, his convalescence from an injury during a defense led him to conversion. It was in Manresa that he received great spiritual enlightenment that would influence his life.

Ignatius the God-bearer (God-bearer) called Ignatius of Antioch was born around 35 AD. He was the third bishop of Antioch after Saint Peter and Evode by the choice of the apostles Peter and John in 68. He led the important Church of Antioch (more than 500,000 faithful) for 40 years.
