De sacramentis 6.5.21
-
Similiter et mulieres, inquit, volo orare non iactantes se in ornamentis neque in margaritis, ait apostolus Paulus. Sed et apostolus Petrus: Mulieris, inquit, gratia plurimum valet, ut viri eius convertatur adfectus per uxoris suae bonam conversationem et incredulus se flectat ad gratiam Christi. Hoc valet mulieris gravitas et pudicitia et eius bona conversatio, ut virum suum vocet ad fidem et devotionem, quod prudentis viri sermo frequenter operatur. Ergo mulier, inquit, non in ornatu capillorum, non in tortis crinibus ornamentum suum habeat, sed oratione ex corde puro, ubi est absconditus cordis homo, qui semper est apud deum locuples.
