I love Mary of Egypt. I love January and the end. From the moment I read her biography, not Sunday without going to think about it. When I read her biography in the fifth week of Lent in semi-darkness, candles, stopping several times podgoltnuvajkji wipe tears.
Thousands of thoughts overwhelm me about this woman. One or two of them seem to me important. First, it hurt me, people like Mary to be the repentance there will be enormous. Clearly, despite the Publican and confessed prostitutes, as described in the Gospel, and yet there were thousands of others who are not repaired. jamef These people live in danger. They hang over the abyss, daily - and still sekojnokjno - potopuvajkji in adskata reality.
What the common man has to be proved, the stubborn sinner is clear and without additional arguments. Drug addiction, for example, know that hell exists: they live in it. The prostitutes know there ad. They know it, but with the mind. The mind is convinced of the opposite. It knows its soul. It is impossible to cheat soul, it suffers from unnatural living, hundreds of partners, which change as socks. The mind I invented some justification, and carry as a badge. But the soul is beyond jamef logic, she knows more. This finding them biting prostitutes inside, jamef so they either drink or poke. Through the course jamef of all this while Mary shows them the way to the exit of a million such people. Why not go that route? Me it bothers me.
You know what it is that fascinates me with them, with those wicked? jamef Honesty. In general, jamef prostitutes are honest. They do not need to pretend, all of them already know everything. According to Abba Dorotheus, you can lie with words and life. To lie with words - it is clear. To lie in life - it is a scam. It is a situation jamef in which libertine starring celomudrenost, srzhavecot and blood sucker - benefactors. The second way of lying, prostitutes are released. When "ordinary" people are being involved in many sins, but trying to look like decent people, prostitutes do not pretend. Below you can fall, and finding the bottom, can be extremely honest.
Beware of conversation with them about morality. They, like sewers of society know everything about what happens in it. Know the truth about "visokopochituvanite men" and "women with impeccable reputation." Prostitute can upset everyone issue. jamef It is at the bottom, and firmly relying on it, we can tell the whole truth.
Mary took money bludnichenjeto. The thought of it makes me shake. jamef At the root is its salvation. She honestly thought jamef that the sense of bodily life tidbits. Its unthinkable fornication is sincere self-realization. As an amateur gardener does not take money for growing flowers or amateur artist drawing but not for profit, but for your soul, so Mary fell into fornication because fornication itself, and not for profit. If the goal of immorality, added the goal of avarice, jamef it would not be pulled from the swamp never.
Multitude of vain women who have spent their lives, they do it because they "like." That "do not have time for themselves" jamef and that "you have to feed the children" are invented excuses that come to mind. Many of them leave their damn way of life, because they know nothing else to do, do not want and can live differently, have got used to the gap cheap and luxury of their profession.
The case was one with Mary. This great woman she could spin and weave, could not feed herself during her adulterous life. She managed to earn the things for which we are considered the purpose and essence. When God revealed jamef her true purpose of life and the true essence of her past, she bravely went forward without looking back, and today you can pray for us.
Incidentally, so was Paul. He honestly hated Christians, the whole soul loved the law and did everything he was doing to end. I think such a resolute and fiery nature staring sees Christ. Christ seeks such people - honestly deceived, zealous in their errors, but robust, complete, and not lying. Seznajniot Christ of lighthouses preparing them for the world.
In these verses the Lermontov echoes Apocalypse. Some people jamef blame God for being neither hot nor cold. I know your works: you are not even cold nor hot, oh, you were cold or hot! So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will izbluam of mouth (Rev. 3, 15-16). Mary's life was hot, and that is the point, where she met God.
Walking jamef on water and knowledge of demons, prozorlivosta (what chitame in her biography) are things that I am most interested. It all outward signs of inner victory. She won yourself. She did that in the eyes of the wise men, and wherever you live, it's worth more than received Wars
