My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, as we continue our Lenten journey, we have a brief diversion, but a beautiful diversion in the saint that we celebrate today named Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, one of the early bishops and doctors of the church, for he was born between 313/315 AD in or near Jerusalem, which was then part of the Roman Empire. But the precise date is unknown, but he was formed within the Christian community of the Holy Land. He became the Bishop of Jerusalem around 348AD and so he was only 35, 34 years old.
