St. Cyril of Alexandria (376-444) was the Patriarch of Alexandria from 412 to 444. He was enthroned when the city was at the height of its influence and power within the Roman Empire. Cyril wrote extensively and was a leading protagonist in the Christological controversies of the late-4th and 5th centuries. He was a central figure in the Council of Ephesus in 431, which led to the deposition of Nestorius as Patriarch of Constantinople. Nestorius was preaching that Mary was not the Mother of God since Christ was Divine and not human, and consequently she should not have the word theotokos (God-bearer) applied to her. He persuaded Pope Celestine I to convoke a synod at Rome, which condemned Nestorius, and then did the same at his own synod in Alexandria. Cyril wrote treatises that clarified the doctrines of the Trinity and the Incarnation and that helped prevent Nestorianism and Pelagianism from taking long-term deep root in the Christian community. He was the most brilliant theologian of the Alexandrian tradition. His writings are characterized by accurate thinking, precise exposition, and great reasoning skills. Among his writings are commentaries on John, Luke, and the Pentateuch, treatises on dogmatic theology, and Apologia against Julian the Apostate, and letters and sermons. He was declared a doctor of the Church by Pope Leo XIII in 1882. - - - - - #stcyril #stcyrilofalexandria #saintcyrilofalexandria #saintcyril #theology #saint #saintoftheday #catholicmen #catholic #catholiclife #catholicism #catholicchurch #art #god #jesus #holy #holyspirit #religion #romancatholic #faith #pray #prayer #patronsaint #instacatholic #christianity #jesuschrist #blessed #alexandria #icon #orthodox https://www.instagram.com/p/CB8KZZ8hXmr/?igshid=1886owcy1f53y

"I have been amazed that some are utterly in doubt as to whether or not the Holy Virgin is able to be called the Mother of God. For if our Lord Jesus Christ is God, how should the Holy Virgin who bore him not be the Mother of God?" - #SaintCyrilofAlexandria #SaintoftheDay . At this time of year (especially around the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul), many Priests, including myself, celebrate their Anniversaries of Ordination. Humbly, I ask for your prayers. . 📷 Madonna and Child Jesus Icon on Eroded Wall / © William Attard McCarthy / Stock Photo Secrets . . #SacredArtandImages #Catholic_Priest #MaterDei #CatholicPriestMedia #OurLadyofPerpetualHelp . . . https://www.instagram.com/p/BzNRr8_F0yN/?igshid=1jyvrcaxmh8tx
