Be a Saint
Far too long in my life did I rest, ignorant of the wisdom of Hildegard von Bingen.
The life of a mystic is both blessed and cursed, but it is a life of extremes. There’s nothing milquetoast or mild if God graces you with visions and insights that move your being, stretch your senses, delight your soul.
Her music is timeless. It is represented beautifully here.
The lyrics from just one of the hymns speak to a deeply inspired mystic:
On the day we celebrate Hildegard and all those resurrected because of His Victory on the Cross, know we are all called to be saints. Kick your contemplation into high gear.
Ora pro nobis.
