Now, in the fifth week of Great Lent, it is customary to read the life of St Mary of Egypt today along with the Great Canon of St Andrew of Crete. In the year 680 AD, St. Andrew traveled to Constantinople for the 6th Ecumenical Council and brought with him his great composition (The Canon) and the life of St. Mary of Egypt, written by his compatriot and teacher, Sophronios, Patriarch of Jerusalem.
Although probably written to pierce the souls of us adults, here is a worksheet to
use with young people.
“My soul, O my soul, rise up! Why are you sleeping? The end draws near and soon you shall be troubled. Watch, then, that Christ your God may spare you, for He is everywhere present and He fills all things.”
Please e-mail eleniemarie@gmail.com if you would like this worksheet sent to you as a Word document. Sorry I can't figure out how to attach the activities better!
