Repentance is the tearing down of the wall that separates us from God. It is like the removal of a force-field which prevents us from entering His Kingdom. It begins with the recognition of our own fallen nature and continues as we reconnect with our Creator. Each year during Great Lent, the church holds before us an enduring example of repentance and a reflection of the radical change that can occur in a human being with the life of St. Mary of Egypt.

    Sometimes we fall in despair, thinking that our sins are to big for God to forgive us. That we have walked in wicked ways for to long, and that we are never able to restore our relationship with God again. For me personally St. Mary of Egypt shows me how merciful God is. Something a man cannot understand easily. Yes we read it in the Bible, but sometimes we fall so deep that it looks like we will never get out of darkness anymore. Thank God i found out about those Saints. Their stories are grace-filled. May the Lord protect you all in these wicked times!
  • @morphosis7655
    I relate to Mary’s story a lot. The world chewed me up and spat me out, I have nowhere else to go but to God. Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on me a sinner 🙏
  • @patriciah3235
    The Theotokos helped Mary. What a great gift She is to us! Mary and Zosimas helped each other! We cannot reach God alone.
  • I'm in need of transformation from lustful acts in my own life. Please pray for me.
  • @mwendwa_m
    I was a wrech like saint Mary of Egypt. So given to passions and lust, but the Lord Jesus had mercy on me. Only he can change sinners to saints. Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me a sinner and have mercy on us all in the day of judgment. Amen.
  • A broken and humble heart is the greatest we can offer. St. Mary of Egypt experienced this. May we all receive the grace of repentance as she did.
  • My patron saint! I pray this video will bring many comfort, repentance, and victory over the passions. St. Mary, pray for us!
  • GOD knows how hard it is to kick an addiction. I'm Roman Catholic and pray to her constantly, especially on her April 2nd feast day on our liturgical calendar, that she cure me of my addictions. St. Mary of Egypt pray for us!
  • This has taught me that even the evil ones can change and repent, and to not judge our brothers and sisters. God have mercy 🙏🏻

    "a broken and a contrite heart, o God, Thou wilt not despite..."
  • @badnewsbruner
    Wow. I didn't expect to get so emotional watching this. Beautiful, and absolutely inspiring. St. Mary of Egypt, please pray for us all as Great Lent comes to a close, and for all of our days on earth.
  • @mik569
    Please Bless me St. Mary of Egypt, for i have lived a life of sin. I've changed my ways, am married, a mother, but i spent an entire summer years ago living on the street. The things that happened were horrible and i still have nightmares.
  • @user-fl4or5py3d
    Saint MAry please pray for me, please ask God to forgive me for all my sins!!!
  • @BDyoungster1997
    This sin creeps upto you fast. I deal with it myself. And St. Mary of Egypt is one of the ones I truly look upto and admire. Thank you for making this one.
  • @DMCK2000
    I’m a Roman Catholic, but I love this video and channel. Keep it up!
  • I prayed to her today..... I was a slave to my flesh and to my sins 😔 I was a son of the Devil 😔 I begged her to pray to our Lord and God for I was thinking about sex a lot when in school and was looking at women with my lustful eyes...... Pray for me siblings! Pray for me, an unworthy sinner! Κύριε Ιησού Χριστέ ελέησον με!
  • @silverjones2317
