St. Ignatius Lives Today

Through Christ’s power, St. Ignatius’ intercession brings miracles, reflecting God’s love. One tale says a woman in Aksum sought Ignatius’ intercession when lost in the hills, and a man in white guided her to safety, seen as Christ’s grace. Some Orthodox believers see such signs as God’s care through saints’ intercession. Another tale says a mother in Addis sought Ignatius’ intercession, touching an icon, and her child was healed of fever, seen as Christ’s grace.

One Coptic tale says a family in Minya sought Ignatius’ intercession during a fire, and the flames spared their shop, leaving a cross-shaped mark, seen as a miracle. Neighbors rejoiced, and the family grew in faith. These signs, through Ignatius’ intercession in Christ, show God’s care for children’s fears and families’ needs. Through Ignatius’ intercession, God guides young hearts, turning trials into stories of faith in Christ. His witness inspires Coptic and Syrian youth to trust Christ’s grace.
