St. Ignatius of Antioch stands as one of the most important figures in the early Church. A disciple of St. John the Apostle and the third bishop of Antioch—appointed by St. Peter himself—Ignatius lived and died for the truth of the Catholic faith.

The existence of angels is a dogma of our Catholic faith. And no one knows us better or loves us more than our Guardian Angel (it is perfect love), so you can always count on them. They are the guardians of our safety and salvation, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, explains, and they obtain for us the grace of final perseverance – if we are willing to cooperate with that grace.
