St. Cyril of Jerusalem (18 March): Practices of the Church in the 4th Century

About this sermon

On this Wednesday of the Third Week of Lent, we reflect on the life and teaching of St. Cyril of Jerusalem, Doctor of the Church and one of the greatest early defenders of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Amid the chaos of the Arian crisis, St. Cyril stood firm in the truth of the Catholic Faith—enduring exile, persecution, and political upheaval. His legacy gives us not only a deeper understanding of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, but also a profound connection to the ancient Creed of the Church, rooted in Jerusalem itself. In a time when many are deprived of the sacraments, his teaching calls us back to a burning faith in Our Lord truly present—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity—in the Most Blessed Sacrament. 👉 This sermon explores: The historical importance of St. Cyril of Jerusalem The origins and development of the Nicene Creed The early Church’s belief in the Real Presence Why we must pray for saints in our time The importance of spiritual communion during suffering Let us ask St. Cyril to intercede for us—that the world may return to a true and living faith in the Eucharist. 0:00 Opening Prayer & Introduction 0:24 Private Mass – Third Week of Lent 0:50 Feast of St. Cyril of Jerusalem 1:10 Gospel Reading Explained (Matthew 10) 2:09 Fear God, Not Man 2:20 Who Was St. Cyril? 2:47 The Arian Crisis & Exile 3:10 The Nicene Creed & Jerusalem Origins 4:18 The Apostles’ Creed vs Nicene Creed 4:43 The Trinity & the Faith of the Church 5:17 St. Cyril as Catechist 5:42 Teaching on the Holy Mass 6:05 The Real Presence Explained 6:37 St. Cyril and Corpus Christi 7:01 The Need for Saints Today 7:40 Spiritual Communion & Our Time 8:03 Prayer for Faith in the Eucharist For more please visit http://www.institute-christ-king.org/wausau-sermons & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
