The Eastern Cross/Library/To Theodore After His Fall
Theodore, a friend of the young John, had left the monastic life to marry and thought there was no way back. John wrote to him with all his heart: no sin is greater than the mercy of God, and it is never too late to repent.
Theodore came back, and later became bishop of Mopsuestia.
