St. Cyril of Jerusalem


Our actions have a tongue of their own; they have an eloquence of their own, even when the tongue is silent. For deeds prove the lover more than words.
- St.Cyril of Jerusalem 




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 St. Cyril of Jerusalem, may effectively instruct thy people in Christian faith and practice; and that we, taught by them, may enter more fully into the 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. Amen.

Interesting painting. A Byzantine Bishop wearing Roman Vestments. I've seen this with other Saints and I admit it annoys me no end. I've seen it the other way a couple of times, Roman Bishop wearing Byzantine Vestments and that annoys me as well. Everyone trying the oneupmanship game! Oh well, like I said, it's interesting.
