“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink”
St. Cyril of Alexandria, On the Lord's Prayer

“S.Cyril elsewhere says, "As one therefore of the forsaken, in that He too like us partook of blood and flesh, He says, Why forsookest Thou Me? which was [the utterance] of one who was undoing the forsaking that had come upon us and as it were winning the Father to Himself and calling Him to good favour to us as to Himself first.”
Cyril of Alexandria, On the Unity of Christ

“Since the Holy Spirit when he is in us effects our being conformed to God, and he actually proceeds from the Father and Son, it is abundantly clear that he is of the divine essence, in it in essence and proceeding from it.”
Cyril of Alexandria, Treasury of the Holy Trinity
