Dance, to dance
In the writings of Maria Valtorta, dances are most often mentioned as occasions to sin rather than as honest rejoicings.
In "The Gospel as Revealed to Me"
- Jude as a child does not want to play dancing before an idol.[1]
- Account of the conversion of Aglae: her admiration for dance led her astray.[2]
- "We played and you did not dance."[3]
- Description of the martyrdom of John the Baptist and the immodest dance of Herodias.[4]
In Maria Valtorta's Other Works
In the Notebooks
- Catechesis of June 16, 1943: "You have trampled everything down and danced, like fools, on the divine maxims on which your Good in this life and in the other depended. You have increased knowledge in all fields, except in the only necessary field: the knowledge of my Gospel."[6]
