Today, let’s join the Church in honoring Saint Athanasios the Great and Saint Cyril of Alexandria, two formidable defenders of the faith whose courage and clarity have shaped Christian belief for centuries.
Saint Athanasios the Great
A fearless shepherd in a turbulent age, Athanasios stood firm for the truth of Christ’s divinity when the world around him wavered. His life reminds us that faithfulness sometimes means standing almost alone—yet never without God.
- unshakable conviction
- defense of the Incarnation
- courage under pressure
Saint Cyril of Alexandria
Cyril carried the same flame into the next generation, proclaiming with boldness the unity of Christ—fully God and fully human. His teaching helped the Church articulate the mystery of the Word made flesh.
- clarity in doctrine
- pastoral strength
- zeal for Christ’s truth
Together, these patriarchs remind us that theology is not abstract—it is worship, witness, and the Church’s heartbeat. Their legacy calls us to hold fast to the truth with humility, love, and holy boldness.
A Prayer for Today
Lord Jesus Christ, through the prayers of Your servants Athanasios and Cyril, grant us steadfast hearts, discerning minds, and a love for Your truth that transforms our lives. Strengthen Your Church, guide our steps, and keep us faithful to the mystery of Your grace. Amen 🙏
May their memory be eternal, and may their witness inspire us to walk in the light of Christ with courage and joy. 💕✌️🙏
