More quotes by Hildegard of Bingen
All of creation is a song of praise to God.
Hildegard of Bingen
I am the fiery life of the essence of God I am the flame above the beauty in the fields I shine in the waters I burn in the sun, the moon, and the stars. And with the airy wind, I quicken all things vitally by an unseen, all-sustaining life.
Hildegard of Bingen
The marvels of God are not brought forth from one's self. Rather, it is more like a chord, a sound that is played. The tone does not come out of the chord itself, but rather, through the touch of the musician. I am, of course, the lyre and harp of God's kindness.
Hildegard of Bingen
The soul is kissed by God in its innermost regions.
Hildegard of Bingen
Humanity finds itself in the midst of the world. In the midst of all other creatures humanity is the most significant and yet the most dependent upon the others.
Hildegard of Bingen
Divinity is in its omniscience and omnipotence like a wheel, a circle, a whole, that can neither be understood, nor divided, nor begun nor ended.
Hildegard of Bingen
O Eternal God, now may it please you to burn in love so that we become the limbs fashioned in the love you felt when you begot your Son at the first dawn before all creation. And consider this need which falls upon us, take it from us for the sake of your Son, and lead us to the joy of your salvation.
Hildegard of Bingen
Because a woman brought death a bright Maiden overcame it, and so the highest blessing in all of creation lies in the form of a woman, since God has become man in a sweet and blessed Virgin.
Hildegard of Bingen
Just as a circle embraces all that is within it, so does the God-head embrace all. No one has the power to divide this circle, to surpass it, or to limit it.
Hildegard of Bingen
Every creature is a glittering, glistening mirror of Divinity.
Hildegard of Bingen
The fire has its flame and praises God. The wind blows the flame and praises God. In the voice we hear the word which praises God. And the word, when heard, praises God. So all of creation is a song of praise to God.
Hildegard of Bingen
O, You who are ever giving life to all life, moving all creatures, root of all things, washing them clean, wiping out their mistakes, healing their wounds, You are our true life, luminous, wonderful, awakening the heart from its ancient sleep.
Hildegard of Bingen
Like billowing clouds, Like the incessant gurgle of the brook The longing of the spirit can never be stilled.
Hildegard of Bingen
We shall awaken from our dullness and rise vigorously toward justice. If we fall in love with creation deeper and deeper, we will respond to its endangerment with passion.
Hildegard of Bingen
A human being is a vessel that God has built for himself and filled with his inspiration so that his works are perfected in it.
Hildegard of Bingen
Rivers of living water are to be poured out over the whole world, to ensure that people, like fishes caught in a net, can be restored to wholeness.
Hildegard of Bingen
There is the music of Heaven in all things.
Hildegard of Bingen
With nature's help, humankind can set into creation all that is necessary and life sustaining.
Hildegard of Bingen
Cerevisiam Bibat! (drink beer for health)
Hildegard of Bingen
It is easier to gaze into the sun, than into the face of the mystery of God. Such is its beauty and its radiance.
Hildegard of Bingen
