From Fr. Ermatinger Comes
The Example and Model of a True Penitent
An erudite 18th century Irish bishop presents us with the extraordinary depravity and even more extraordinary life of grace and penance of this spiritual giant from the 5th Century, St. Mary of Egypt. From prostitute and sex addict to woman of prayer, penance, and whole-hearted surrender to the Spouse of her soul and the object of all our longings, Jesus Christ.
Her story is humbling, edifying, inimitable, but wholly inspiring, showing us that no sin, sincerely confessed, surpasses the Mercy of God. St. Mary shows us how to trust in the Lord through conversion, lived out in prayer and penance rather than in the emotion of a fleeting moment.
This book, older than the United States itself, speaks to our age through the example of St. Mary and the counsels of the holy bishop who penned it.
