"Her hour's repentance is accepted for the long time of her sinfulness"

Paesia [Παησία,] orphaned of her rich parents, turned her home into a hostel [ξεvoδoχεov] for monks, but she was reduced to poverty and then to prostitution. John went to visit her but the old woman at the door would have turned him away. He finally gained entrance because the woman was persuaded that he had found a pearl by the Red Sea. She received him lying in bed; he wept, for he could see Satan playing in her face. She repented and followed him, without even making any arangements for her house. That night, John prepared a bed for each of them in the sand. About midnight, he saw a path of light between her and heaven with angels bearing her soul on high. He got up and kicked her, only to find she was dead, so he praised God.
