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.
Desejando fugir do mundanismo e tendo decidido guardar a virgindade, orou suplicando à Divina Majestade que o tornasse tão feio e deformado que ninguém mais o quereria, prometendo, em troca, manter a castidade perpétua, se Deus lhe fizesse este favor.
