\"Life<\/a>
Life of St Mary of Egypt by Anonymous (Beliy Gorod) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>St. Mary of Egypt, at the age of twelve, left her parents, moved to Alexandria, and became a prostitute. \u00a0She lived on the street for several years, and, according to her own words, often enjoying what she was doing. She was productive in that she was able to make money for herself thanks to a job which she seemingly enjoyed. She was a rebel who had made a place for herself in society, and had fulfilled the dream of many \u2013 she was self-sufficient, able to live off the proceeds of what she enjoyed doing. Who could tell her she was wrong? Her money verified the legitimacy of her work. She had rebelled against her parents, who wanted her to show restraint with her body, and she said no, she could do whatever she wanted, she was free, and no one would take her liberty away from her.<\/p>\n

She lived the dream.<\/p>\n

All her earthly fantasies were fulfilled.<\/p>\n

Yet, the fantasies hid from her the reality of her unhappy life. She was being used, and abused, and while she said to herself she enjoyed it, the abuse which she faced at the hands of men, many who claimed to be holy Christians following God\u2019s will, had to have had a deep and long-lasting psychological effect on her. She was a victim of abuse, and like so many who suffered such abuse, she created a delusion which she used to hide from herself the real physical and emotional harm she was suffering. It hid from her all the pain and suffering she was enduring at the hands of others.<\/p>\n

This was not the worst of what she faced. The worst was the reaction of others. Those who saw her did not see a wounded woman who needed their help, but rather, someone they desired to abuse themselves, either by using her for their own sexual gratification, or by throwing all their scorn on her for the way she lived as a way of making themselves feel holy and smug that they were sinners like her. Good Christians reinforced the abuse which she faced. They did not show the love God desired her to know, and so she feared God, feared he would reject her as they did, and so for a long time, she remained a vessel of abuse, taking it from both her customers and her critics alike.<\/p>\n

Those who thought they were great in the kingdom of God hindered the justice and mercy of God in her life. Instead of showing charitable love, helping her find a better way of life, they helped reinforce the structures of sin, showing that they were the ones far from God by the way let Mary be mistreated. They called themselves pious and great, and would have shown others all that they have done, all the virtues they have claimed for themselves which they said made them so great, and yet there was Mary, the vessel of their abuse, who was a sign of their ignorance of Jesus and true virtue. For what they did to her, they did to Jesus. They wanted to lord it over her, instead of serving her with love, thereby showing how they had not yet learned the lesson Jesus gave to James and John:<\/p>\n

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to him, and said to him, \u201cTeacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.\u201d \u00a0And he said to them, \u201cWhat do you want me to do for you?\u201d And they said to him, \u201cGrant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.\u201d But Jesus said to them, \u201cYou do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?\u201d \u00a0And they said to him, \u201cWe are able.\u201d And Jesus said to them, \u201cThe cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.\u201d And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. \u00a0And Jesus called them to him and said to them, \u201cYou know that those who are supposed to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. \u00a0For the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many\u201d (Mk. 10:35-45 RSV).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One day, Mary saw a group of pilgrims going to Jerusalem and she decided she wanted to join them. She could not afford it, so she made a deal to allow herself to be used and abused by the would-be pilgrims as they gave her the food and passage she needed to enter the Holy Land. While pretending to be great and pious, we once again see how the so-called righteous were really far from God. They wanted to use God for their own benefits, but ignored him in his declarations of social justice.
\n<\/p>\n

\"St<\/a>
St Mary of Egypt by Anonymous (Icons of Saints at the Orthodox Christian Page.) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>Eventually, the pilgrims made it into Jerusalem. While her companions were able to enter into the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Mary the Mother of God came to her, made her stop and pause and reconsider her whole life.\u00a0 The Mother of God saw the harm her namesake was doing to herself. She saw how Mary had let the vicious cycle of sin rule her and destroy her inside and out. The Mother of God saw how Mary had let herself become the vessel of abuse, where she became the scapegoat for the sins of others, and so she hated herself just as much as the rest hated her. The Mother of God saw and understood Mary with the eyes of love; yes, Mary had sinned, but she was humble of spirit and contrite, and as she opened herself up to be a vessel of scorn, so she was easily opened up to be a true vessel of God\u2019s love on earth. Mary.<\/p>\n

The Theotokos came to Mary as a mother, as one who wanted to help her wayward children, and so she came with her grace, grace that allowed Mary of Egypt to reconfigure her life. Mary made a promise that she would change her way, stop the cycle of abuse, and turn to God for healing. With her heart turned towards God, she found grace freed her from the structures of sin which had long caught her and abused her. Society had trapped her, forcing her into the role of prostitute, but God\u2019s grace let her out of the structures of sin which had long held her down, so that, with great love, she was able to enter the Holy Sepulchre healed from the damage of her past.<\/p>\n

Mary\u2019s glory is certainly one which came out of her heartfelt penitence, but it shows that such penitence must be done for the sake of spiritual healing. She had once accepted the structure of sin found in the society of her day, and let it trample her down, but then she saw through the web of sin, saw that power of grace to help her overcome the systematic structure of sin in society, and so she was able to live in the wilderness, away from society, for years being embraced by the glory of God. She was able to become great in the kingdom of God despite what those who thought themselves great tried to do with her.<\/p>\n

Through the life of St. Mary of Egypt, who we remember on the Fifth Sunday of the Great fast, we are able to see the nihilistic power of sin, how it directs us to self-abuse when we accept the power and authority of sham piety to take control of us and our lives. But we are shown that sin does not have to have the last word. Those who enforce the structures of sin in society do not have to define us. Grace allows us to overcome the pretentious and their attempt to destroy us as vessels of their abuse. We can overturn the structures of sin and show ourselves to be true holy vessels of grace and love.<\/p>\n

The lesson of Mary is that we are not to think highly of ourselves and lord it over others. Rather, we must see how it is those who\u00a0 are humble and love God, even if they have fallen thanks to the structures of sin and given all kinds of scorn for what they have done, can become great leaders of humanity and the Church, as Christ himself indicated to James and John. It is not those who seek greatness of power and authority, but the lowly and humble that Christ elevates with glory:<\/p>\n

Having been a sinful woman, \/ you became through repentance a Bride of Christ. \/ Having attained angelic life, \/ you defeated demons with the weapon of the Cross. \/ Therefore, most glorious Mary, you are a Bride of the Kingdom! (Kontakion of the Sunday of St. Mary of Egypt).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, she sinned. But the scorn given to her was worse than her sin.\u00a0 God\u2019s image was preserved in her, even though it had been forgotten and neglected by her abusers.\u00a0 It was preserved, and in her humility, it was able to be cleansed by the tears of sorrowful joy as she embraced the Theotokos and found herself risen up beyond the mire society made for her:<\/p>\n

The image of God was truly preserved in you, mother, \/ for you took up the Cross and followed Christ. \/ By so doing, you taught us to disregard the flesh, for it passes away, \/ but to care instead for the soul, since it is immortal. \/ Therefore your spirit, holy mother Mary, Rejoices with the angels!\u00a0 (Troparion of the Sunday of St Mary of Egypt).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mary was more than her past, more than the sin she had once embraced in the flesh; she was a far greater a person,a\u00a0 far holier a woman, than the so-called pious of the world. Thanks to the greatness within her, she was able to move beyond the abuse and flee to the loving arms of Christ. Let us also follow her example; let us see the beauty of God within us, disregard the sins and bondage to sin we have, and truly embrace Christ in humble love, so we can share with her the glory of God in eternity.<\/p>\n
