He stretched out His hands on the Cross, that He might embrace the ends of the world; for this Golgotha is the very centre of the earth…He said, It is finished. For the mystery has been fulfilled; the things that are written have been accomplished; sins are forgiven.
–Saint Cyril of Jerusalem (c. 313-386)
Great is the Baptism that lies before you: a ransom to captives; a remission of offences; a death of sin; a new-birth of the soul; a garment of light; a holy indissoluble seal; a chariot to heaven; the delight of Paradise; a welcome into the kingdom; the gift of adoption!
–Saint Cyril of Jerusalem (c. 313-386)
For as the pen or the dart requires the hand of the user, so grace also demands believers.
–Saint Cyril of Jerusalem (c. 313-386)
Nurture your soul with holy readings; for the Lord has prepared for you a spiritual table.
–Saint Cyril of Jerusalem (c. 313-386)
If you labor little, you will receive little; if you work hard, your reward will be great.
–Saint Cyril of Jerusalem (c. 313-386)
You save money which, when saved, does not save you.
–Saint Cyprian of Carthage (c. 200-258)
