ST IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH, BISHOP, MARTYR
OF THE DAY

Eph 1: 11-14
Ps 33: 1-5, 12-13
Lk 12: 1-7

The first step so that Jesus Christ may live in us is to know and believe the total Christ as Way, Truth and Life (SP Jan 1963).

From Father Tom: The Founder speaks of the "first step" which most of us would see as the final one, e.g., to believe what we have read or studied about the Master. Perhaps he is referring to his own unrepeatable experience as a teenager when he was suffused by the Divine Light and remained in four hours in enjoyment of it, long before he had begun his studies.
