Cultivating Virtue Quotes

“St. Ephrem being solicited to sin by a woman of evil life, professed his readiness, provided the scene of their transgression should be the public square. But when the woman objected to this condition on account of the shame it would involve, “Then,” replied the Saint, “you fear shame before the eyes of men, and do you not fear it before the angels of God?” By this consideration, he brought about her conversion.”
