“The priest says ‘Let us give thanks to the Lord.’ Certainly we ought to give thanks to God for having invited us, unworthy as we are, to so great a gift; for God having reconciled us to Himself when we were His enemies; for having made us His adopted sons by the Spirit.”

-St. Cyril of Alexandria (350 AD)

Today’s Reflection:

What does this quote from St. Cyril tell you about the reason for giving thanks to the Lord during Holy Mass.
