Hl. Kyrill, Bischof von Alexandria, Bekenner und Kirchenlehrer
Gedenkmesse der heiligen Apollonia, Jungfrau und Märtyrin
Fest angezeigt für das Jahr 2027; bewegliche Feste können von Jahr zu Jahr variieren.
Der heilige Kyrill von Alexandria war einer der bedeutendsten Bischöfe und theologischen Lehrer der frühchristlichen Kirche. Er wurde um die Mitte des 4. Jahrhunderts geboren und amtierte als Patriarch von Alexandria in Ägypten von 412 bis zu seinem Tod 444. In einer Zeit intensiver theologischer Auseinandersetzungen verteidigte er die wahre Lehre Christi gegen verschiedene Häresien, insbesondere gegen den Nestorianismus, der die Einheit der göttlichen und menschlichen Naturen Jesu Christi leugnete. Mit großer Entschlossenheit und tiefer Gelehrsamkeit setzte er sich für das Dogma ein, dass Maria die Gottesgebärerin („Theotokos“) genannt werden dürfe, weil Christus in einer Person wahrhaft Gott und Mensch ist.
Der heilige Kyrill spielte eine zentrale Rolle beim Konzil von Ephesus im Jahr 431, bei dem die Lehren des Nestorius verurteilt wurden. Seine zahlreichen theologischen Schriften, darunter Traktate und Briefe, prägten wesentlich die christliche Lehre der Kirche über Christus und die Gottesmutter. Trotz zeitweiliger heftiger Auseinandersetzungen und politischer Schwierigkeiten bewahrte Kyrill bis zum Schluss die Treue zu seiner Aufgabe als Hirte und Lehrer der Kirche. Seine Spiritualität ist geprägt von der tiefen Ehrfurcht vor der Inkarnation Jesu und der klaren Betonung der Einheit Christi – ein Erbe, das bis heute in der Kirche lebendig ist.
Das heutige Fest würdigt Kyrills herausragenden Dienst als Bekenner und Kirchenlehrer. Die Kirche ehrt ihn nicht nur als Verteidiger des Glaubens in einer schwierigen Epoche, sondern auch als vorbildlichen Bischof, der in allen Anfeindungen standhaft blieb und die Wahrheit und Liebe Christi unermüdlich verkündete.

2 Tim 4:1-8
Caríssime: Testíficor coram Deo, et Iesu Christo, qui iudicatúrus est vivos et mórtuos, per advéntum ipsíus et regnum eius: prǽdica verbum, insta opportúne, importune: árgue, óbsecra, íncrepa in omni patiéntia, et doctrína. Erit enim tempus, cum sanam doctrínam non sustinébunt, sed ad sua desidéria, coacervábunt sibi magistros, pruriéntes áuribus, et a veritáte quidem audítum avértent, ad fábulas autem converténtur. Tu vero vígila, in ómnibus labóra, opus fac Evangelístæ, ministérium tuum imple. Sóbrius esto. Ego enim iam delíbor, et tempus resolutiónis meæ instat. Bonum certámen certávi, cursum consummávi, fidem servávi. In réliquo repósita est mihi coróna iustítiæ, quam reddet mihi Dóminus in illa die, iustus iudex: non solum autem mihi, sed et iis, qui díligunt advéntum eius.
℟. Deo grátias.

Lesson from the second letter of St Paul the Apostle to Timothy
2 Tim 4:1-8
Dearly beloved: I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom: Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine. For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears: And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables. But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. Be sober. For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice, which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming.
℟. Dank sei Gott.

Matt 5:13-19
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Vos estis sal terræ. Quod si sal evanúerit, in quo saliétur? Ad níhilum valet ultra, nisi ut mittátur foras, et conculcétur ab homínibus. Vos estis lux mundi. Non potest cívitas abscóndi supra montem pósita. Neque accéndunt lucérnam, et ponunt eam sub módio, sed super candelábrum, ut lúceat ómnibus, qui in domo sunt. Sic luceat lux vestra coram homínibus, ut vídeant ópera vestra bona, et gloríficent Patrem vestrum, qui in cœlis est. Nolíte putáre, quóniam veni sólvere legem aut prophétas: non veni sólvere, sed adimplére. Amen, quippe dico vobis, donec tránseat cœlum et terra, iota unum aut unus apex non præteríbit a lege, donec ómnia fiant. Qui ergo sólverit unum de mandátis istis mínimis, et docúerit sic hómines, mínimus vocábitur in regno cœlórum: qui autem fécerit et docúerit, hic magnus vocábitur in regno cœlórum.

℟. Ehre sei Dir, o Herr!
Matt 5:13-19
In that time Jesus said to His disciples: You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men. You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house. So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled. He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
