St. Cyril of Jerusalem.

 St. Cyril of Jerusalem.

St. Cyril lived in Jerusalem and died in 386.

He once said,

“you have just heard distinctly, That our Lord Jesus Christ in the night in which He was betrayed.

Took bread, and when He had given thanks He broke it, and gave to His disciples, saying, Take, eat, this is My Body:

and having taken the cup and given thanks, He said, Take, drink, this is My Blood. “

Since then Jesus Himself declared and said of the Bread, This is My Body, who should dare to doubt any longer?

And since He has Himself affirmed and said, This is My Blood, who should ever hesitate, saying, that it is not His blood?”

And neither should we hesitate to proclaim

That we receive His very Body and Blood at every Mass.

God Bless
