Kings and queens and bishops and popes sought St. Hildegard’s counsel. But the Benedectine nun was perhaps most knowledgeable about admiring and appreciating every creature.
Among her most inspirational words:
- “The Earth sustains humanity. It must not be injured; it must not be destroyed.”
- “Every creature is a glittering, glistening mirror of divinity.”
- “Creation is the song of God.”
- “Humankind is called to co-create, so that we might cultivate the earthly, and thereby create the heavenly.”
