About this work

Author: Mary

Reply of the Blessed Virgin to this Letter.

The lowly handmaid of Christ Jesus to Ignatius, her beloved fellow-disciple.

The things which thou hast heard and learned from John concerning Jesus

are

true

.

Believe

them

,

cling

to

them

,

and

hold

fast

the

profession

of

that

Christianity

which

thou

hast

embraced

,

and

conform

thy

habits

and

life

to

thy

profession

.

Now

I

will

come

in

company

with

John

to

visit

thee

,

and

those

that

are

with

thee

.

Stand

fast

in

the

faith

,

and

show

thyself

a

man

;

nor

let

the

fierceness

of

persecution

move

thee

,

but

let

thy

spirit

be

strong

and

rejoice

in

God

thy

Saviour

.

Amen

.
