YOU CAN'T STOP LOVE=Saint Ignatius of Antioch

YOU CAN'T STOP LOVE=Saint Ignatius of ANTIOCH


You cannot stop LIFE
And LOVE in this world=
The life of Christ
PROVES THAT


MANY tried to STOP him=
But life and LOVE
Lived on


“Woe to you
Experts in the law
Because you


Have taken away
The key to knowledge


You yourselves have
NOT ENTERED=
And you have hindered
Those who were entering” Luke 11:52


What a terrible condemnation
That that is=
Trying to STOP anyone
From entering
LIFE AND LOVE


YOU CAN'T STOP LOVE!


CHRIST'S LOVE proved this=
And so did the lives
OF OUR SAINTS


Particularly the life
Of our SAINT TODAY=
Saint Ignatius of Antioch


AUTHORITIES seized Ignatius=
Who was HEAD of one of
The churches
Being BORN
In the early SECOND century


They conveyed Ignatius=
CHAINED HIM=on the long journey
From Turkey to Rome
For public execution


They didn't want him to be
LIKE CHRIST=and wanted to
STOP OTHERS
From being like CHRIST


But you CAN'T STOP love
And life in CHRIST=
It moves on


Life and LOVE live on


“For this
Is what the high
And exalted ONE says--------


He who LIVES FOREVER-
Whose name is holy” Isaiah 57:15


“........the Spirit of TRUTH--------
The world cannot
Accept him


Because it neither sees him
Nor knows him


But you know him
For he LIVES with you
And will be in you” John 14:17


Ending Christ's life=did
NOT STOP LOVE=
And it did not stop
With the end of Saint Ignatius=
Or any the other Saint's lives either


Instead it brought them
To the threshold of IMMORTALITY


And it ENCOURAGED PEOPLE
Like us
To follow the
LIVES of the saints
And Christ=IN LOVE


Ignatius lived a life
Of COURAGE AND FAITH=
We can too
Have a life that LIVES ON


“You ought to LIVE
Holy and godly LIVES
As you look forward


To the day of GOD
And speed its coming” 2 Peter 3:11-12


NOTHING can stop us from
LIVING a life of
FOLLOWING Christ and the Saints


Let us NOT get
In each others' way


In the name of Jesus=and God=the FATHER of all love
