Interacting with Angela da Foligno’s steps to form a close alliance with God, was very interesting. The text was very informative and relatable from a spiritual and religious perspective. The language used in the text was very lively and created vivid imagery/messages . As a person of the Catholic faith I relate greatly with the part of the text in which step two is spoken about, confession is one of the biggest steps on your journey to get closer to God. The descriptive language used to describe how one feels before confession is very impactful, “The second step is a confession of sin accompanied by shame and bitterness. At this point the soul feels no love, only pain. “ Opening up about the feelings and thoughts she experienced because of the fact her soul needed the spiritual healing and connection of God.
Angela da Foligno Analysis: Step Two
Hi Layka, thanks for your post. Remember to use the present tense when you talk about a text. It’s very nice that you pick a sentence. Can you elaborate more on that sentence instead of repeating the same idea that the text is descriptive? Why there is no love, for example, but shame?
