THEOSISFructuosus of Braga
Individuals should not place their trust in past purity, for even David, the most righteous, and Solomon, the wisest, found their hearts corrupted by women. To avoid any assumption that one's purity can withstand the presence of a female relative, one should recall how Tamar was violated by Amnon, who feigned illness. Therefore, both monks and nuns ought to lead such a pure existence that they can bear witness sincerely before God and humanity, providing an example of sanctity for their followers.
