| St. Cyril of Jerusalem by Francesco Bartolozzi |
History
When Cyril was a
bishop in the fourth century, poor people came to him for help, he sold a few
extra items in the parish so he could buy them food. Meanwhile, a terrible
thing was happening. Some people said that Jesus wasn’t God, and they convinced
many Christians to believe that lie. Cyril knew Jesus was divine, but somehow
managed to get himself in the middle of all of this. A bishop who didn’t like
what Cyril believed accused him of selling church goods for profit and had him
sent away to another country.
Activity
Sometimes, we work
really hard to do what Jesus wants us to do, but we never get to see any good
come from it. And sometimes, we want to do something to help, but we can’t for
some reason – like when Cyril was sent away. That doesn’t mean we should give
up. We have to learn to trust that God is using our efforts for the good of His
Kingdom, even if we can’t see it. Today, ask God to help you always trust in
Him.
