“Holy Spirt, the life that gives life.
You are the cause of all movement;
You are the breath of all creatures . . .
Let all the world praise you.”
Hildegard of Bingen, (1098-1179)
God’s Spirit breathes life into all of us.
Hildegard was a remarkable woman. Some consider her the founder of scientific natural history in Germany. She was a medical practitioner, writer and composer. Her spirituality was rooted in umbra viventis lucis, reflection of the living Light.
