St. Hildegard

In the spirit of Thanksgiving for the wonders of God in our lives, we offer the following quotes from Hildegard of Bingen, who was recently named a doctor of the church:

“I, the fiery life of divine wisdom, I ignite the beauty of the plains, I sparkle the waters, I burn in the sun, and the moon, and the stars;“The earth which sustains humanity must not be injured, it must not be destroyed,“The soul is a breath of living spirit, that with excellent sensitivity, permeates the entire body to give it life. Just so, the breath of the air makes the earth fruitful.” Thus the air is the soul of the earth, moistening it, greening it.”
