You have noted those who teach heterodox things about the grace of Jesus
Christ which came to us. How they are contrary to the mind of God! They are not
concerned about love, neither the widow, the orphan, the afflicted—whether
bound or free, the hungry nor the thirsty. They abstain from the Eucharist and
from [set times of] prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is
the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, that flesh which suffered for our sins
but which the Father raised in his kindness. Those who contradict the gift of
God with strife will die.
Ignatius of Antioch
