Guido Cagnacci (Italian, 1601–1663), The Repentant Magdalene, detail, circa 1660.

Norton Simon Museum.

The event depicted in the elegant space of this canvas is an episode from the life of Mary Magdalene, the courtesan who renounced her sinful ways and converted to Christianity, following her encounter with Christ in the temple. Mary is shown on the floor, having discarded her luxurious clothes and jewels; her face is reddened from remorse and her body barely covered by a white sheet. Her sister Martha sits on a cushion, calming her, while behind them two servants are leaving the room after having witnessed their mistress’s emotional scene. Cagnacci has also included two allegorical figures to the left. A standing angel banishes a levitating devil, complete with horns and a tail. He lurches toward the window as he flees the room. The combatant figures represent Virtue and Vice as they battle for Mary’s soul at the moment she chooses to embrace her virtuous new Christian life. (x)

Repentance is a form of shedding the cloak of confidence that was not confidence but it was confidence in the wrong sense

you will never see me displaying.......humility.....or even worse... normalcy. i shifted realities and got absolutely, transcendently railed by a man who, by all accounts, does not exist. structurally, narratively, ontologically. and yet.

my thoughts shape reality, my desires rearrange the cosmos. i’m sorry, what exactly would you like me to do with that? renounce my own divinity? get a hobby....such as.... pottery? be serious and start affirming

Don’t let shame distract you from the immense love Jesus has for you! He loves you so much! More than you could ever imagine. Nothing you could do or have done could ever separate you from His love!💗💫

Perhaps you witnessed someone being treated unfairly or rudely, & you felt compelled to apologize on behalf of the offender.  This can be a difficult situation to navigate, especially when the person in question is a friend, family member, or romantic partner.  However, I believe that sometimes it’s ok to apologize for…
