THEOSISFructuosus of Braga
One should not place confidence in past purity, for even David was not more righteous, nor Solomon more wise, yet both were led astray by their desires. To avoid any misconceptions about the security of one's purity in the company of a female relative, one must recall how Tamar was violated by Amnon, who feigned illness. Therefore, both monks and nuns ought to maintain such a life of purity that they can offer a faithful testimony, not only in the sight of God but also before humanity, serving as a beacon of holiness for those who follow them.
