The medieval saint, Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), was a German Benedictine abbess and polymath who was a mystic, composer, writer, philosopher, botanist, naturalist, and medical practitioner. Hildegard's spiritual awareness was based on the umbra viventis lucis - the reflection of the living Light.

Hildegard von Bingen

In his sight

<h4 style="text-align: center;">God is the foundation for everything.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">This God undertakes, God gives.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">Such that nothing that is necessary for life is lacking.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">Now humankind needs a body that at all times honors and praises God.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">This body is supported in every way through the Earth.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">Thus the Earth glorifies the power of God.</h4>
