It gets thrown into the fire
9 October 2022
Let’s gird ourselves well to apply the commandments of Christ, so that we’re not bound tightly to the chains of wicked desires and soul-destroying pleasures. These shackles are difficult to break and we don’t want to suffer the verdict that went against the barren fig tree: ‘ Cut it down root and branch so it doesn’t take up room unnecessarily’. Anyone who doesn’t bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.
Saint Theodoros of Edessa
