The oratorio is about the former "sinner" Mary Magdalene (''Maddalena''). The allegorical figures of earthly and heavenly love try to win her over to their side. At this point, Maddalena has already largely renounced earthly temptations but is still unsure whether she can really find forgiveness. She finds support from her sister Marta and from Jesus Christ (''Cristo'') himself. A Pharisee (''Fariseo'') doubts the correctness of her decision. He believes that sins can only be atoned for through offerings in the temple. In the end, Maddalena finally makes her choice and Earthly Love retreats to the underworld.
