Icon of the Last Judgement
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~On Care of the Soul
We should have every concern for our soul, and should strengthen our body for this reason only, that it may assist in the strengthening of the soul.
Voluntarily to exhaust our body to the point that the spirit is exhausted is an unreasonable mortification, even if it is done to acquire virtue.
