Nothing visible is good, for our God, Jesus Christ, being now in the Father, is the more plainly visible.The sentence is clumsily expressed: apparently Ignatius means nothing directly visible is good, and Jesus Christ, who is no longer visible, being in the Father, is more clearly perceived by the eye of faith, but he has sacrificed clearness to a paradoxical playing with the words. Christianity is not the work of persuasiveness, but of greatness, when it is hated by the world.
