Araw-araw sinusubok naming mag-asawa ang talim ng aming balaraw Halimbawa Kung umiiyak ang bunsong anak at hindi kumikilos ang sintang mahal sasaksakin ko siya sa likod at patawang pagmamasdan habang duguang pasususuhin nya ang bunso Kung pundi ang bumbilya sa aming kusina at ako'y abala sa paglikha ng tula hindi niya ako titigilan ng saksak sa batok hangga't ang ilaw ay di napapalitan Patas lang ang aming labanan Lagot kung lagot walang dayaan Kaya't sa katapusan ng araw magbibilang kami ng sugat at tila mga gulanit na kaluluwa ay magtatawanan magsusuntukan pa Ganito kaming lagi sapagkat labis ang pag-ibig namin sa isa't isa

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA Feast Day: June 27

"If the poison of pride is swelling up in you, turn to the Eucharist; and that Bread, Which is your God humbling and disguising Himself, will teach you humility. If the fever of selfish greed rages in you, feed on this Bread; and you will learn generosity."

Not your typical saint, Cyril of Alexandria, was a 'large and in charge' bishop, a bold character of great bravery in the fifth century.

He is best known for his defense of the doctrine of the Incarnation (that the one Person of Jesus was the divine Son, the Second Person of the Trinity), and for his brilliant exegetical writings.

Born in Alexandria, Egypt ca. 375 AD, St. Cyril was the nephew of Theophilus, the Patriarch and Archbishop of Alexandria. Saint Cyril received his theological and classical education in Alexandria and was ordained a priest by his uncle. He may have been a monk for a time, as well.

In 402, St. Cyril attended the 'Synod of the Oak' with his uncle and witnessed the deposing of St. John Chrysostom, then Bishop of Constantinople.

Upon Theophilus' death on Oct. 15, 412, Cyril was consecrated his successor. Not the gentlest of saints, Cyril expelled Jews from Alexandria because of their murderous attack upon Christians; he pillaged and closed Novatian heretical churches (followers of the anti-pope, Novatian); and performed other strong and forceful acts.

He came down hard on Nestorius, Bishop of Constantinople, as well, for his heretical view denying that the two natures of Christ belonged to one divine person, the Son of God.

Brash and vehement at times, many thought St. Cyril went too far. At other times, his decisions were considered too lenient and mild.

From Cyril we hear the term 'Theotokos,' a title for the Blessed Virgin Mary recognizing her as 'God-bearer' or 'Mother of God.'

He brought the term into use in the year 429, in both a paschal letter and a letter to the monks of Egypt. Mary as the Theotokos was another truth of Catholic doctrine to which Nestorius would not assent.

Cyril utilized the term again in 431 at the Third Ecumenical Council, the Council of Ephesus, where he served as Pope Celestine I's representative.

During the council, attended by 200 bishops, St. Cyril and the bishops condemned all the tenets of Nestorianism and deposed Nestorius.

Archbishop John of Antioch then arrived with 42 followers who presumed Nestorius innocent in the whole matter. Archbishop John and his followers held a council of their own and deposed Cyril.

Due to this confusion, Cyril and Nestorius were both imprisoned by the Emperor Theodosius II. Cyril was released three months later when papal legates arrived confirming his innocence and declaring the findings of the true ecumenical council against Nestorius. Cyril was welcomed back into Alexandria. Nestorius retired in Antioch, but was later banished to the Great Oasis of Egypt.

Cyril is credited with being a great champion of orthodoxy.

His principal defenses concerning Catholic doctrine centered around the hypostatic union (the one person of Jesus Christ subsisting in His divine and human natures); Mary as Theotokos; and his defense of Christ's (God's) Real Presence in the Eucharist. He wrote treatises clarifying the above, as well as teaching the doctrine of the Trinity.

He wrote commentaries on the Gospels of Matthew, Luke, and John; the books of the Pentateuch; Isaiah; and the minor prophets. He also wrote sermons, letters, and treatises on dogmatic theology.

He authored 17 books 'On Adoration in Spirit and in Truth,' 20 books against Julian the Apostate, and treatises addressing the Nestorian controversy. He was a magnificent theologian credited with exceptional reasoning skills.

Cyril of Alexandria died on June 27, 444. He was declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Leo XIII in 1882.

The Fountains at Villa D'Este, Tivoli

Cirilo Bautista

As if he owned the ocean. Here, one man’s dream explodes in water, carved in splashing splendour by lion teeth, angel mouth, breasts of virgins that do not rest. Day and night the liquid sizzles, channelling the dream from terrace to terrace, from stone to stone, till it gathers to a pool that caresses the fish. My brain swims with the fish as they trace their antique silence to a thousand spouts and fountains, then back to the pool again…. One dies again, also, bursting through the skin, and flings his wingless wars to the sun, broken and raining sadness on the soul; but just for a moment, like spumes in air, or the swing of swans to shore, no longer, no better. Bodies bloom and reel in space, juggled and spun by light, by water, to flash a brilliance, no longer, no better. Was this what he thought, he who planned the garden of his mind, to freeze that brilliance? Did he, in despair, command the water to move his mind to each crevice, each pool, each silent sibilance, each flowing, each song of many endings, each murmur, while he slept, as if he owned the ocean?
