After this the bishop says: 'Holy things for the holy.' The offerings are
holy, because they have received the descent of the Holy Spirit, and
you are holy too because you have been granted the Holy Spirit, thus
holy things are appropriate for holy people. Then you say: 'One is holy,
one is Lord, Jesus Christ.' For truly there is one who is holy, holy by
nature; for though we are holy, we are not so by nature, but by
participation and discipline and prayer.
- St Cyril of Jerusalem, Mystagogic Catechism 5.19
