A Collect for Ignatius of Antioch Bishop and Martyr, c.115 ALMIGHTY GOD, we praise thy Name for thine Bishop and Martyr Ignatius of Antioch, who offered himself as grain to be ground by the teeth of wild beasts that we might present to thee the pure bread of sacrifice: Accept, we pray, the willing tribute of our lives and give us a share in the pure and spotless offering of thy Son Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with thee and the Holy Spirit, One God, Forever and Ever, Indeed. AMEN
