5th Sunday of the Fast – St Mary of Egypt

And as our father among the saints the Chrysostom declares to us, at any hour you had heard the call of the Spirit and honestly answered with repentance through the gifts and Sacraments offered through the Church, even as late as Saint Mary and the thief on the Cross, then on Pascha you will also hear those heart rendering words about your Bridegroom and your own soul: “Why do you look for the Living among the dead? He is not here, for He is risen!”
