Part 2 in our series “From Scandal to Saint.” Fr. Elijah tells the gripping story of St. Abraham the Hermit and St. Mary of Edessa—a holy niece who lived twenty years in purity, fell hard, then rose even higher by God’s mercy. Their lives reveal two truths we must hold together:
 1. the horror of sin and what it does to the soul,
 2. the greatness of God’s mercy, which pursues, restores, and sends us back stronger.

Walk through Mary’s despair, Abraham’s relentless love, and the dramatic rescue that mirrors the Good Shepherd. Learn why untested virtue is fragile, why despair is the soul’s killer, and how godly sorrow leads to real repentance. If you feel checkmated, remember: the King still has another move.

Upper Room Media is a ministry of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Its mission is to bring the word of God from a timeless faith into your hearts and mind anywhere at anytime.

The Orthodox Church worships God in continuity with the earliest Church, and as such is the oldest Church. It is a Church of balance: between the mystical and the tangible; between spirituality and theology; between the worship of God and service to humanity. Everything is in balance, otherwise known as right worship, which means Orthodox. It is not a denomination, but rather pre-denominational. It is not a religion but rather a life with God in Christ. 

The Orthodox Church worships God in spirit and truth (John 4:24) and dynamically incarnates that truth in every age - empowering all people from all walks of life to love God, others, and themselves.
