“We learn the manner of receiving the blessed sacrament from his Catech. 23. ‘Putting your left hand under your right,’ says he, ‘form a throne of your right hand to receive the king; hold it hollow, receiving on it the Body of Christ. Answer, Amen. Carefully sanctify your eyes by touching them with the holy Body, being very watchful that no part of it fall. Approach to the cup of the Blood, bowed in a posture of adoration and reverence; saying, Amen, take of the blood of Christ. Whilst yet something of the moisture sticks on your lips, touch them with your hand, and by applying it then to your eyes, forehead and other senses sanctify them.’ ” (Butler, Lives, Vol. III, Dublin (1866) p. 185). AFAIK, the best current scholarly opinion is that the last five of the (I think 18) tractates bundled together and attributed to Cyril are actually the work of his successor John, widely suspected of Arianism by no less than St. Jerome and St. Augustine, among others. This guy's scholarship seems at best out of date.
