In this sermon, Father Ted explores the parable of the barren fig tree through the lens of St. Augustine’s interpretation. He emphasizes God’s mercy, the importance of bearing spiritual fruits, and the necessity of humility—symbolized by manure—in personal and communal growth. Using humor, personal anecdotes, and theological insights, Father Ted calls for self-reflection, urging listeners to embrace humility as the key to repentance and transformation.
