The collect for today, the Feast of Saint Ignatius (d. c. 107), Bishop of Antioch, Martyr (source[1]):
[2]Feed us, O Lord, with the living bread
and make us drink deep of the cup of salvation
that, following the teaching of thy bishop Ignatius,
and rejoicing in the faith
with which he embraced the death of a martyr,
we may be nourished for that eternal life
which he ever desired;
through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord,
who liveth and reigneth with thee,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
The Epistle: Romans 8:35-39[3]
The Gospel: St John 12:23-26[4]
