I am God's wheat, and I shall be ground by the teeth of beasts, that I may become the pure bread of Christ.
Wherever the bishop appears, there let the people be, even as wheresoever Christ Jesus is, there is the catholic church.
May nothing entice me till I happily make my way to Jesus Christ! Fire, cross, struggles with wild beasts, wrenching of bones, mangling of limbs - let them come to me, provided only I make my way to Jesus Christ.
There is one Physician, of flesh and of spirit, originate and unoriginate, God in man, true Life in death, son of Mary and son of God, first passible and then impassible: Jesus Christ our Lord.
I prefer death in Christ Jesus to power over the farthest limits of the earth. He who died in place of us is the one object of my quest. He who rose for our sakes is my one desire.
I would rather die and come to Jesus Christ than be king over the entire earth. Him I seek who died for us; Him I love who rose again because of us.
I have no taste for corruptible food nor for the pleasures of this life. I desire the Bread of God, which is the Flesh of Jesus Christ, who was of the seed of David, and for drink I desire His Blood, which is love incorruptible.
Let no rank puff up anyone; for faith and love are paramount - the greatest blessings in the world.
I am writing to all the churches to let it be known that I will gladly die for God if only you do not stand in my way... Let me be food for the wild beasts, for they are my way to God.
Now I begin to be a disciple... Let fire and cross, flocks of beasts, broken bones, dismemberment... come upon me, so long as I attain to Jesus Christ.
Pray to Christ for me that the animals will be the means of making me a sacrificial victim for God.
Nothing is more precious than peace, by which all war, both in Heaven and Earth, is brought to an end.
You must all follow the lead of the bishop, as Jesus Christ followed that of the Father; follow the presbytery as you would the Apostles; reverence the deacons as you would God's commandment.
Take heed, then, often to come together to give thanks to God, and show forth His praise. For when you assemble frequently in the same place, the powers of Satan are destroyed, and the destruction at which he aims is prevented by the unity of your faith.
Only let it be in the name of Jesus Christ, that I may suffer together with Him! I endure everything because He Himself, Who is perfect man, empowers me.
It is outrageous to utter the name of Jesus Christ and live in Judaism.
Even the heavenly powers and the angels in their splendor and the principalities, both visible and invisible, must either believe in the Blood of Christ, or else face damnation.
Nothing is better than peace, by which all warfare of heavenly and earthly foes is brought to naught.
Even though I be bound in the Name, I have not yet become perfected in Jesus Christ.
Let not then any one deceive you, as indeed you are not deceived, inasmuch as you are wholly devoted to God.
