Card for the Month – June 2024 – Saint/Sinner
If this card has found its way to you today, perhaps it has something to offer. What follows is my personal reflection on the message of this card. Take what resonates with you and leave the rest.
This card is Saint/Sinner from the Magdalene Oracle by Toni Carmine Salerno.
When I was growing up, I learnt that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute until she met Jesus and repented and followed him. It turns out she was never a prostitute but a holy woman, one of the disciples and a saint in her own right.
While it’s easy for me to get up on my high horse about this, there are a couple of questions that can be asked instead.
1) How do I act out in my life, making incorrect assumptions about others? How can I be less judgemental and more compassionate?
2) In what ways have I misjudged myself? Made myself wrong or bad, or gave away my power to others. How can I be less self-critical and show more self-compassion?
I invite you to take a few minutes to ponder these questions and journal on them.
It’s important to keep an open mind and heart about ourselves and others. Live and let live!
I hope you have a great day!
Much love & blessings,
Claire xoxo
