St. Cyril of Jerusalem

 

 

Ant. Euge, serve bone et fidélis, quia in pauca fuísti fidélis, supra multa te constítuam, dicit Dóminus.

 V. Iustum dedúxit Dóminus per vias rectas. R. Et osténdit illi regnum Dei.

Da nobis, quǽsumus, omnípotens Deus, beato Cyríllo Pontífice intercedénte: te solum verum Deum, et quem misísti Iesum Christum ita cognóscere; ut inter oves, quæ vocem eius áudiunt, perpétuo connumerári mereámur. Per eúndem Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. R. Amen.

Ant. Well done, thou good and faithful servant thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things, saith the Lord.

 V. The Lord guided the just in right paths. R. And showed him the kingdom of God.

O Almighty God, grant unto us, we beseech thee, at the prayers of thy blessed Bishop Cyril, so to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ Whom Thou hast sent, that we may hear His Voice, and He may give unto us eternal life. Through the same Jesus Christ, thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.

R. Amen.
