There is no …depravity of which I was not their teacher. I am amazed, Abba, how the sea stood our licentiousness…when I had entangled in my net so many souls. But I think God was seeking my repentance. For He does not desire the death of a sinner but magnanimously awaits his return to Him. St. Mary of Egypt


I found this quote on evlogeite.com an ancient church blog. Saint Mary of Egypt is a woman that I can relate to. Her life and my life are similar in many ways. Although her life she repented in a place of seclusion, and she gave her life to repentance.To learn about her life click here. I want to give my life to repentance. How dose one do that without wondering off into the desert and live?

Lord Have Mercy
