| But being at lengthBut being at length by the will of God brought to a consideration of her own estate, and her mind filled with consciousness of the immeasurable offences which she .had committed, she called to remembrance the multitude of her sins, and bewailed them penitently, saying, i Woe to me jimmy choo uggs a sinner, how shall I render an account of the multitude of my sins! I have profaned a spiritual temple; I have defiled the soul which inhabiteth this body! Woe is me, woe is me! what have I done! what hath befallen me! Shall I say, like the Harlot or the Publican, that I have sinned? But no one has sinned like me! How, then, shall I be assured that God will receive my repentance? While she meditated in herself upon these things, He, who would that all should be saved and brought back into the way of truth, and would have no jimmy choo one perish, was pleased to bring unto her remembrance all the sins which she had committed from her youth u And she set down in writing all these offences, even all that she had committed from her youth to this her elder age; and, last of all, she set down one great and heinous sin, the worst of all; and having done this, she folded up the writing, and fastened it with lead. After this, having waited till a convenient season, when holy Basil was accustomed to go to the church that he might pray there, she ran before to meet him, and threw the writing at his feet, jimmy choo shoes and prostrated herself beforehim, saying, holy man of God, have compassion upon me a sinner, yea, the vilest of sinners! The most blessed man stopt thereat, and asked of her wherefore she thus groaned and lamented and she said unto him, Saint of God, see I have set down all my sins and iniquities in this writing, and I have folded it, and fastened it with lead; do not thou, I charge thee, open it, but by thy powerful prayers blot out all that is written therein.
