Strengthen, O Lord, we beseech thee, the bishops of thy Church in their special calling to be teachers and ministers of the Sacraments, that they, like thy servant Cyril of Jerusalem, may effectively instruct thy people in Christian faith and practice; and that we, taught by them, may enter more fully into celebration of the Paschal mystery; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
St. Cyril of Jerusalem, Bishop, Doctor of the Church
As a simple priest he instructed catechumens during Lent. His teachings are saturated with Holy Scripture, and the Church still possess most of his homilies full of divine wisdom. The Arians exiled him thrice. He died in 386. pic.twitter.com/PemWPUzgvt
