Desiring to flee worldliness and having decided to keep his virginity, he prayed, begging the Divine Majesty to make him so ugly and so deformed that no one would want him any more, promising, in return, to keep perpetual chastity, if God did him this favor.
En su deseo de huir de lo mundano y tras decidir que iba a mantenerse virgen, rezó a la Divina Majestad que lo hiciera tan feo y deforme que nadie lo quisiera más, prometiendo a cambio mantener la castidad perpetua si Dios le hacía este favor.
