Sayings of the Desert Fathers

#55

إذا حَسُنَ لك الزنى أقتله بالتواضــع وإلجــــــــــأ
بنفسك إلى اللـه فتستريح، وإذا حُوربت بجمال
الجسد فتذكر نتانته بعد الموت فإنك تستريـــــح
القوى القديس الأنبا موسي

If adultery is beautified in your eyes, kill it with humility, take refuge in God and you will be comforted. If you are tempted with the beauty of the body, remember its stench after death and you will be comforted.

-St. Moses the Strong
