This is a text describing the work of an early 20th-century Uruguayan painter:
Sin falsos miramientos ni dobleces morales, nuestro pintor retrata las pasiones humanas tan fielmente como lo hizo con sus contenciones devotas: desde el recogimiento espiritual hasta el desenfreno insensato, todo pasa por su pincel.

Muchísimas gracias, Sir Davis. :-) (No me he leído todo el enlace de San Agustín, pero ya veo el percal...) (Algo me recuerda a la Vida de Brian)

: Aida: The meaning you mention is that which is most commonly used in today’s English. But the term is also used in the sense reflected in John’s translation, and this usage goes back several centuries.

devout self-control
Self-discipline and self-control are associated to religious actions.
The self-discipline religious effect, however, only appears among intrinsic true believers and not among the socially conventional or extrinsically motivated religious.

phases (bouts) of devotional abstinence
Continence has medical echoes of incontinence, whilst the plural ought to be reflected somehow.
Bouts are not only of hard drinking. Phases possibly captures the slight ambiguity of the esteemed artist's own 'continence' and his depictions of such acts or, rather, omissions.

Example sentence:
[ ABSTINENCE PRINCIPLE: A 30-DAY DEVOTIONAL FOR TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS DEDICATED TO SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE ] Abstinence Principle: A 30-Day Devotional for Teens and Young Adults Dedicated to Spiritual Discipline

: I don't think Catholics in this context would be in any danger of confusing continence with bladder/bowel control. For that matter, abstinence usually means laying off the booze, and I doubt it's that.

The target-audience may not only be (we) baptised Catholics and legendary Indian (Barrister) Mahatma Gandhi - as his wife would have testified - is not known primarily for his bouts of sobriety.

El autor tenía dudas acerca de su religión (devoto), estaba en controversia/disputa consigo mismo con respecto a su religión.
Quizás haya alguna palabra más apropriada pero creo que está es la idea.
