There was in Magdalen a mixture of true and false shame. She was partly ashamed of her simple, pious, and plainly dressed sister who went around with Jesus’ followers so despised by her visitors and associates, and she was partly ashamed of herself before Martha. It was this feeling that prevented her taking the latter into the apartments that were the scenes of her follies and vices. Magdalen was somewhat broken in spirits, but she lacked the courage to disengage herself from her surroundings.- Mary Magdalen in the Visions of Anne Catherine EmmerichSaint Mary MagdalenChrist on the Cross with the Virgin, Saint John, and Saint Mary MagdaleneUnknown Italian artistc.1360 - 1380 -- source link
