Carrabelle, FL -- (SBWire) -- 05/17/2013 --The Universal Life Church World Headquarters has announced that the Catholic Church has released two-sided, full color Prayer Cards in commemoration of the founder of the Universal Life Church name, St Ignatius of Antioch (Theophorus). St Ignatius of Antioch in 107AD is the first individual responsible for the first known use of the Greek word katholikos and the origin of the Universal Life Church name. It is from this Greek word katholikos (English translation - "universal") that the word Christian or catholic comes from. When Ignatius wrote the Letter to the Smyrnaeans in about the year 107 and used the word katholikos, he used it as if it were a word already in use to describe the Church.

Born 35 AD Died 108 AD

Appointed by Peter as a Bishop
Wrote Seven Letters

To the Magnesians

While Jesus Christ is considered the founder of the Christian Church, the name was never foretold until St Ignatius and very fittingly so originated the name Universal Life. Universal by definition means the one Church, synonymous with the words catholic and Christian. The word Life standing for Christ and who better than Jesus himself, the giver, the taker, the originator and the one responsible for eternal life. Where Jesus Christ is there is the Christian, the Catholic and the Universal Life Church. Prayer Cards commemorating the Universal Life Church name founder are available through his Church and remember wherever you see the name Universal Life, thanks to Saint Ignatius of Antioch the world see's Jesus Christ.
