This novena to Saint Cyril of Alexandria offers nine days of prayer and reflection for those seeking courage, wisdom, and zeal in defending the truth of Christ. Born in 4th-century Egypt, Saint Cyril became Patriarch of Alexandria and one of the Church's greatest champions of orthodoxy. He defended the mystery of the Incarnation and the title of Mary as Theotokos, safeguarding the true identity of Christ against the heresy of Nestorianism. Through his brilliant teaching, pastoral care, and tireless work for justice, Cyril shaped the Church's understanding of Christ's divinity and humanity, and inspired generations to stand firm in faith. His life reminds us that true devotion combines love for divine truth with practical charity for the vulnerable. Through daily Scripture, meditations, and prayers, this novena invites us to grow in fidelity to Christ, defend sound doctrine with courage, and work for justice and purity in our world. May Saint Cyril of Alexandria, defender of the Incarnation and champion of the Theotokos, intercede for all who seek to uphold divine truth, protect the innocent, and live with complete devotion to Christ and His Church.
