EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: The Transformative Power of Reproach: Saint Humbeline's Journey to Sanctity. This evocative 12th-century print depicts Saint Humbeline, the sister of the renowned Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. Born into a noble family, Humbeline lived a worldly life, married to a nobleman, and enjoying the luxuries and pleasures of the court. However, her world was turned upside down when her beloved brother, Bernard, wrote her a series of letters reproaching her for her dissolute lifestyle. Moved by her brother's words, Humbeline was struck by a profound sense of guilt and conviction. She recognized the emptiness of her worldly pursuits and yearned for a deeper connection with God. Inspired by her brother's spiritual fervor and dedication to the Cistercian order, Humbeline made the courageous decision to leave her husband and enter a convent. This print captures the moment of Humbeline's transformation, as she turns her back on her former life and embraces the path to sanctity. The serene expression on her face reflects her newfound inner peace and determination. The simple, austere surroundings of the convent symbolize the ascetic lifestyle she has chosen, in contrast to the opulence and distractions of the court. Saint Humbeline's story is a testament to the power of reproach and the transformative effect it can have on an individual's life. Her courage and commitment to spiritual growth serve as an inspiration to all who seek to deepen their connection with God and live a life of holiness.
