"Saint John Climacus, a seventh-century Christian monk, shared this anecdote about chastity:
“Someone, I was told, at the sight of a very beautiful person felt impelled to glorify the Creator. The sight of them increased his love for God to the point of tears. Anyone who entertains such feelings in such circumstances is already risen before the general resurrection.”" — Feb 19, 2026 07:24PM
