St. Hildegard von Bingen Novena – Day 1 – Discerning Hearts Podcast
About this episode
Day 1
St. Hildegard you have said:
Just as a mirror, which reflects all things, is set in its own container, so too the rational soul is placed in the fragile container of the body. In this way, the body is governed in its earthly life by the soul, and the soul contemplates heavenly things through faith.
O glorious St. Hildegard, abbess of the order of St. Benedict and doctor of the universal Church, we now join in the prayer you taught us….
God is the foundation for everything
This God undertakes, God gives.
Such that nothing that is necessary for life is lacking.
Now humankind needs a body that at all times honors and praises God.
This body is supported in every way through the earth.
Thus the earth glorifies the power of God.
O God, by whose grace your servant Hildegard, kindled with the Fire of your love, became a burning and shining light in your Church: Grant that we also may be aflame with the spirit of love and discipline, and walk before you as children of light; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
St. Hildegard von Bingen, pray for us

Novena to St. Hildegard von Bingen, day one. St. Hildegard you have said. Just as a mirror which reflects all things is set in its own container, so too the rational soul is placed in the fragile container of the body. In this way, the body is governed in its earthly life by the soul, and the soul contemplates heavenly things through faith. O glorious St. Hildegard, abyss of the Order of St. Benedict and Doctor of the Universe of Church, we now join in the prayer you taught us. God is the foundation for everything. This God undertakes. God gives.
Such that nothing that is necessary for life is lacking. Now humankind needs a body that at all times honors and praises God. This body is supported in every way through the earth. Thus the earth glorifies the power of God. O God, by whose grace your servant Hildegard kumbled with the fire of your love, became a burning and shining light in your church. Grant that we also may be a flame with the spirit of love and discipline, and walk before you as children of light. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. St. Hildegard von Bingen. Pray for us. Amen. St. Hildegard von Bingen.
