This is a Martyr * who strove for his Master’s precepts, even unto death: and feared not the words of evil men, forasmuch as he was stablished on a sure foundation.
Versicle at I Vespers Common
℣.Thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, O Lord.
℟.And madest him to have dominion of the works of thy hands.
At Lauds · Benedictus Common
He that hateth his life * in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
Versicle at Lauds and II Vespers Common
℣.The righteous shall flourish like a palm-tree.
℟.And shall spread abroad like a cedar in Libanus.
At II Vespers · Antiphon Common
Whosoever will come after me * let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Collect Common
Almighty God, mercifully look upon our infirmity: and because we are oppressed by the burden of our own deeds, may the glorious intercession of blessed Ignatius, thy Martyr and Bishop, defend us. Through thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, liveth and reigneth God, world without end.
℟.Amen.
