For She Loved Much : A Homily on the Sinful Woman by Saint Ephraim the Syrian

By: St. Ephraim the Syrian

In the Gospel according to Saint Luke, a sinful woman fell at the feet of our Lord Jesus Christ in the house of Simon the Pharisee. What events motivated her to come to the Lord with tears of repentance? We cannot say for sure. However, in this captivating homily, Saint Ephraim the Syrian offers us a glimpse into what might have been. Saint Ephraim does not intend to recount the historical details of this woman?s story. Rather, it is against the backdrop of the Gospel narrative that he inspires us to overcome all obstacles and to return to Christ with love. This book also includes the life of Saint Ephraim the Syrian, as well as valuable guidelines for self-examination and the sacrament of confession.
