St. Bernard's School of Theology & Ministry

“I am writing to all the churches and I enjoin all that I am dying willingly for God's sake, if only you do not prevent it. I beg you, do not do me an untimely kindness. Allow me to be eaten by the beasts, which are my way of reaching to God. I am God's wheat, and I am to be ground by the teeth of wild beasts, so that I may become the pure bread of Christ.”

— St. Ignatius of Antioch, martyr and Church Father, pray for us!
