St. Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch
Saint Ignatius delighted in saying the name of Jesus. Tradition relates that he was the child, whom Our Lord called to him, when he rebuked the ambition of the apostles. We read in the Gospel that on the way to Capernaum the apostles disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. On entering the city, Christ called to him one of the children standing around the house doors, and taking him, a boy about four years of age, by the hand, set him in the midst of them and said: “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 18:3-4). © Evangelization Station, 2010
