Salutation / Introduction

About this work

Author: Anonymous Pseudo-Ignatian compiler

Her friend Ignatius to the Christ-bearing Mary.

Thou oughtest to

have

comforted

and

consoled

me

who

am

a

neophyte

,

and

a

disciple

of

thy

[

beloved

]

John

.

For

I

have

heard

things

wonderful

to

tell

respecting

thy

[

son

]

Jesus

,

and

I

am

astonished

by

such

a

report

.

But

I

desire

with

my

whole

heart

to

obtain

information

concerning

the

things

which

I

have

heard

from

thee

,

who

wast

always

intimate

and

allied

with

Him

,

and

who

wast

acquainted

with

[

all

]

His

secrets

.

I

have

also

written

to

thee

at

another

time

,

and

have

asked

thee

concerning

the

same

things

.

Fare

thou

well

;

and

let

the

neophytes

who

are

with

me

be

comforted

of

thee

,

and

by

thee

,

and

in

thee

.

Amen

.
