In today’s episode of Through the Church Fathers in a Year, we begin our readings from The Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians. Ignatius of Antioch, writing as a prisoner on his way to martyrdom in Rome, urges the Ephesian Christians to remain steadfast in unity, obedience, and faithfulness to Christ. His exhortations focus on honoring church leadership, resisting false teachers, and living in the harmony of the Gospel. We also explore Augustine’s reflections on divine justice and human judgment, where he contrasts God’s perfect will with the shifting morality of human societies. Finally, we continue our study of Summa Theologica, examining Aquinas' theological insights into divine love and predestination.
