    It is not enough to have great potential or show great promise. It is what you do with that potential that makes all the difference. A good beginning does not guarantee a good end. End your life well, to the glory of God.

A tradition in the church says the child is none other than Ignatius, a native of Syria. This is the boy who later became ...read more
