THEOSISFructuosus of Braga
It is unwise to place trust in past purity, for even David, a man of unparalleled righteousness, and Solomon, renowned for his wisdom, found their hearts led astray by women. Let no one assume that his purity is secured merely because the woman is a relative; for instance, Tamar fell victim to Amnon, who feigned illness. Therefore, both monks and nuns ought to embrace such a life of chastity that they can affirm their devotion, not only in the sight of God but also before others, providing an example of holiness for those who follow them.
