Holy Eucharist Teachings by the Fathers of the Church Fathers of the Church - St Cyril of Jerusalem (c. 350 A.D.)
"Then, upon the completion of the spiritual sacrifice, the bloodless worship, over that propitiatory victim we call upon God for the common peace of the Churches, for the welfare of the world, for kings, for soldiers and allies, for the sick, for the afflicted; and in summary, we all pray and offer this sacrifice for all who are in need."
