St Mary Of Egypt
In thee the image was preserved inactness,O mother;for taking up the cross thou didst follow Christ,and with thy deeds thou teach us to overlook the flesh for it passeth away but to atten to the soul since it is immortal,Wherefore,O our righteous mother Mary thy spirit rejoiceth with the angels.
Thou who once of old wast filled with all manner of fornication art now seen today to be a bride of Christ By thy repentance.Thou didst love and emulate the life of the angels.By the cross,thou didst annihilate the hordes of demons;for this cause art thou a bride in the kingdom of the heavens.O mary thou all modest one..
