Catechetical Lectures 19.1–22.9

Summary: Now that the newly baptized have experienced the mysteries, the lecturer will explain the meaning of what was done at their baptism.

• The five Mystagogical Catecheses (19–23 here), given to the newly baptized in Easter week, are transmitted with Cyril's lectures, but some manuscripts ascribe them to his successor as bishop, John of Jerusalem, and their authorship is disputed; they may be Cyril's, perhaps revised later. The title and the reading (1 Pet 5:8–14) are not in the staged text. Allusion: 1 Pet 2:2 ("true-born" children).

Summary: The candidate renounced all Satan's works, that is, every sin, and his "pomp": the theater, horse races, and wild-beast shows.

• Contains section 6, not separated in the scan (its numeral is garbled; the phrase "And all his pomp" is displaced before it in the scan and is put back by a logged correction). "Pomp" (πομπή): the showy spectacles and display of the pagan world. A word lost after "necessary" is supplied in brackets by sense, and the section breaks off in mid-sentence. Quotation: Ps 119:37 (LXX 118:37). Allusions: Phil 3:19; Rev 20:12.

Summary: Foods offered at idol festivals belong to the devil's pomp: as the invocation makes the eucharistic bread and wine Christ's body and blood, so the invocation of demons defiles these foods.

• The section breaks off in mid-sentence in the scan. The beginnings of several lines are lost at the edge of the scan and are restored by sense in logged corrections. The lecturer states that at the invocation (epiclesis) the bread "becomes" the body of Christ and the wine his blood; this is translated exactly. Allusion: 1 Cor 10:20–21.

Summary: The devil's "worship" is idolatry, divination, and magic; those who return to them after baptism are like Lot's wife, while the faithful flee to Christ.

• "Writings on leaves": probably thin inscribed metal plates worn as amulets. Allusions: Gen 19:17, 26; Luke 9:62; Dan 2:34–35. Many words are garbled in the scan and restored by sense in a logged correction.

Summary: Baptism not only forgives sins and gives adoption but is the antitype of Christ's sufferings: we share his death in likeness, while his death and burial were real.

"Here": in Jerusalem, where Christ was buried. Quotations and allusions: Rom 6:3–5; John 15:1; Matt 27:59. Against the view that Christ suffered only in appearance (Docetism).

Translation: Translated by Claude from the Greek of Migne's Patrologia Graeca 33 (scan OCR, corrections logged; lines lost in the scan marked …; sections whose numbers the scan lost are translated inside the preceding section and marked [n]), then compared section by section with the public-domain English of NPNF² 7 (Gifford, 1894); differences checked against the Greek.

Summary: After the invocation the chrism, like the eucharistic bread, is no longer ordinary: the body is anointed with the visible ointment, the soul sanctified by the Spirit.

• The lecturer states that after the invocation of the Holy Spirit the eucharistic bread is "no longer plain bread but the body of Christ"; this is translated exactly. The clause on the Godhead is ambiguous; it may also be read "the gift of Christ and of the Holy Spirit, made effective by the presence of his Godhead".
