Ignatius was was an early Christian writer and Patriarch of Antioch. While en route to Rome, where he met his martyrdom, Ignatius wrote a series of letters. Here is a short excerpt from his letter to the Ephesians:

These are the beginning and the end of life: faith the beginning and love the end. When these two are found together, there is God and everything else concerning right living follows from them. No professing faith sins; no possessing love hates.

A thought for the day.
