I have been a sinful woman.... LORD Jesus Christ Son of God Have Mercy on me a sinner. Sometimes I have awful memories of sins. Lord have Mercy Lord have Mercy Lord have Mercy
Yes..are you going to services at an Orthodox Church yet.? If not, get Thee there asap..(💝😏💝). The Church has heard many confessions through these centuries. It isn't afraid of anything you might say and IT knows from where your help will come.. Jesus can forgive you and you can be relieved of the debilitations of those memories. You will keep the memories, but as you repent of them they hurt less. You will keep the memories though to gently remind you of the debt of love you will owe Him and as a protection against returning to such behaviors.. You made an DEEPLY IMPORTANT POINT: you are grieved by these memories. Not everyone will be able to understand that. They may think your reaction is to slough them off. But, no. The wicked woman grieved. So did St. Mary of Egypt. For 48 years (47 plus one more) after Her encounter with the Holy Cross and the Theotokos in Jerusalem.. And she is one of the greatest saints in the Church because of her repentance and love.. ☦💝📿💝☦
Hello. Sorry to hear that happened. I know that if you go to an Orthodox Church and ask one of the priests, you can ask them to pray for the dead. You can ask more about it to them. Love in Christ, may God bless you and console you my dear! ❤
I'm still a sinner ☦️ but at least I'm no longer a homeless drug addict. I'm now a wife, mother, student, and an inquirer into the Orthodox Church. I've been clean 8 years, and inquired 3 years, and started having enough courage to attend Divine Liturgy after 2 years. Daily Evening Prayer and Morning Prayer habit for 2 years. All to say, I've started going regularly and this Pascha is much more meaningful in the Church than watching from home. Yesterday we all got Palm leaves before Divine Liturgy started. It was beautiful.
I think that this sinful woman is the one who washed His feet when He was at Simon's house. The other woman was Mary, the sister of Lazarus, who poured that expensive oil onto His head in gratefulness and utter awe at what He had done for her brother, who now sat at the table with them. THAT scene is more amazing to me this year than ever before. I marvel at what different insights come to each of us in this season.. We can also marvel at the hardness of Judas in the face of that miracle, but that hardness still exists. Only on this Lazarus Saturday did i realize that the internal organs of Lazarus had started to compose, i guess. Because he did stink. So it seems to me that this miracle would have included some 're-Creation', as well. It was far more than resuscitation and returning the soul and spirit to the body.. although that was miracle 'enough'. Confirmed the 'universal resurrection', indeed.. GLORY TO GOD! Blessed Pascha! ☦💝📿💝☦
God will not be mocked Orthodox Wisdom website You are Fully aware Western Society have no repentance and cleave to sin and promote sin Why do you not therefore publish sermons concerning what God will do to Apostate Nations who flaunt their sin?
Repentance, humility, confession and to know that God forgives us - but the Desert Fathers teach us not to recall and dwell on our former sins. Μετάνοια! We have turned around!

Beautiful homily.
As was I - until my son died accidentally, by God’s gracious Economy…He called me. Glory to God for all things!

I lose track of if the sinful woman here is different from the woman who anoints Jesus from the alabaster jar…
I think that this sinful woman is the one who washed His feet when He was at Simon's house.
The other woman was Mary, the sister of Lazarus, who poured that expensive oil onto His head in gratefulness and utter awe at what He had done for her brother, who now sat at the table with them.
