"Prepare your own heart to receive doctrine, to have fellowship in Holy mysteries."
Saint Cyril of JerusalemWed Mar 18th
"The synthesis of the faith was not made to accord with human opinions, but rather what was of the greatest importance was gathered from all the Scriptures, to present the one teaching of the faith in its entirety. And just as the mustard seed contains a great number of branches in a tiny grain, so too this summary of faith encompassed in a few words the whole knowledge of the true religion contained in the Old and New Testaments."
Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechesis, illuminandorum
"Now when the catechizing has taken place, should a catechumen ask what the teachers have said, tell nothing to a stranger, for we deliver to thee a mystery."
Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, Lectures on the Christian Sacraments
"For neither is it holy to worship the mere man, nor religious to say that He is God only without the Manhood. For if Christ is not God, as indeed He is, but took not human nature upon Him we are strangers to salvation. Let us then worship Him as God, but believe that He also was made Man. For neither is there any profit in calling Him man without Godhead, not any salvation in refusing to confess the Manhood together with the Godhead. Let us confess the presence of Him who is both King and Physician. For Jesus the King when about to became our Physician, girded Himself with the linen of humanity, and healed that which was sick."
Saint Cyril of Jerusalem
"We prophesy not, for we are not worthy."

Saint Cyril of Jerusalem
"Mary paid the debt of gratitude that was due from womankind because of Eve. Not of man, but immaculately of her own self, she conceived of the Holy Spirit by the power of God."
