Cyril’s selling!

Another great saint celebrated today – Saint Cyril of Jerusalem.
Another saint that has made an impression on me today as I have reflected upon his actions.

At a time of famine, St. Cyril sold precious robes and communion ornaments and utensils and used the money to buy food for those that were hungry. This wasn’t because he had a low view of the sacrament – the very opposite as he instructed those receiving communion to ‘make your left hand a throne for the right – for you are to receive a king’.

Seem,s St Cyril did not only have a deep view of the sacrement, but also had a deep understanding of what consuming and becoming the body of Christ meant in reality.

It’s not only what you believe … it’s how you believe!
