Open your heart to the words of prayer of Saint Hildegard of Bingen, twelfth–century mystic, healer and abbess, natural scientist, prophetess and spiritual guide—one of the greatest female spiritual figures of the last millennium. From the saint’s great visionary works dealing with God, humans and the cosmos, one of her modern followers has compiled a simple, unpretentious, consoling book of prayer. The mystical writings of Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179), the self-described “trumpet of God” and “zither of the Holy Spirit,” invite you to enter into prayer that is dialogue on all levels: a dialogue between the Creator and the created, one person and another, the individual and nature, the body and the soul, virtue and vice.

The first translation into English of the complete correspondence of the remarkable twelfth-century Benedictine abbess Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179), this study consists of nearly four hundred letters, in four projected volumes. Addressed to some of the most notable people of the day, as well as to some of humble status, the correspondence reveals the saint in ways her more famous works leave obscure: as determined reformer, as castigating seer, as theoretical musician, as patient adviser, as exorcist. Sometimes diffident and restrained, sometimes thunderously imperious, her letters are indispensable to understanding fully this luminary of medieval philosophy, poetry, and music. In addition, they provide a fascinating glimpse at life in tumultuous twelfth-century Germany, beset with schism and political unrest. This first volume includes ninety letters to the highest ranking prelates in Hildegard's world--popes, archbishops, and bishops. Three following volumes will be divided according to the rank of the addressees.

Completed in 1173, The Book of Divine Works (Liber Divinorum Operum) is the culmination of the Visionary’s Doctor’s theological project, offered here for the first time in a complete and scholarly English translation. The first part explores the intricate physical and spiritual relationships between the cosmos and the human person, with the famous image of the universal Man standing astride the cosmic spheres. The second part examines the rewards for virtue and the punishments for vice, mapped onto a geography of purgatory, hellmouth, and the road to the heavenly city. At the end of each Hildegard writes extensive commentaries on the Prologue to John’s Gospel (Part 1) and the first chapter of Genesis (Part 2)—the only premodern woman to have done so. Finally, the third part tells the history of salvation, imagined as the City of God standing next to the mountain of God’s foreknowledge, with Divine Love reigning over all.

This is the third and final volume of the complete annotated correspondence of the extraordinary nun, Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179). One of the most remarkable women of her day, Hildegard was, for more than 30 years, an unflinching advisor and correspondent of all levels of church and society, from popes and kings to ordinary lay persons, from Jerusalem to England. This present volume (letters 218-390) is noteworthy for its large collection of letters to a non-ecclesiastical audience, and because it contains letters not just to such high-ranking notables as Frederick Barbarossa, King Henry II of England, or Eleanor or Acquitaine, but also to common, ordinary individuals of no importance whatsoever, save that they received a letter from Hildegard of Bingen. Addressing matters as diverse as the "humors" and their relation to health and salvation, the fate of departed souls, the frequency and horror of homicide in her age, a means of exorcising malignant spirits, an effective kind of incantation to alleviate nightmares, the proper attitude and response to the fact of excommunication, and male infidelity in marriage, Hildegard provides a unique view of the twelfth century world. Here also are found compositions in epistolary style that are actually sermons, mediations, prayers, or treatises on a wide range of theological topics, such as prophecy, celebration of the Mass, the Lord's Prayer, the creation, and the fall of Adam. Like previous volumes, the translation follows the most recent definitive Latin text, in which the letters are organized according to the rank and station of Hildegard's correspondents.

This is the second volume in what will be a translation with full scholarly apparatus of the entire correspondence of St. Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179).

The first volume included ninety letters to and from the highest ranking prelates in Hildegard's world: popes, archbishops, and bishops. Volume II comprises letters 91-217, in which Hildegard addresses lower-ranking spiritual leaders (abbots and abbesses, for the most part) offering advice and consolation, and is particularly noteworthy for the correspondence with Guilbert of Gembloux, who provides a wealth of information about the saint and her spiritual gift.

Saint Hildegard is a woman and a saint of many talents. A Benedictine abbess of a monastery in Germany, she was not only known as a Christian mystic and a visionary, but also as a philosopher, a composer, and a writer. Canonized in May, 2012, she was also named a Doctor of the Church by Pope Benedict XVI. She is the fourth woman Doctor of the Church standing with St. Theresa of Avila, St Catherine of Siena, and St. Therese of Lisieux (the Little Flower). A remarkable woman, St. Hildegard offered spiritual advice to many, and turned to others for advice such as St. Bernard of Clairvaux. The harmony of God's creation appeared fully in her visions and spoke to the dignity of both men and women. While full of humility she was not lacking in boldness and bravely confronted the controversies and heresies of her day. She is even more, perhaps, a woman of today's time than her own with her emphasis on ecology, medicine, natural science, gardening, and "the complementary relationship of men and women." She is indeed, as Pope Benedict said, a worthy role model for Catholics today. Her liturgical feast day is September 17. Use this journal during your holy hours or time spent in front of the Blessed Sacrament in adoration. Allow the quotes included to provoke prayer and meditation opportunities. Holy Hour journals are perfect companions during mass and prayer time. Are you at peace or is life out of control? Are you overwhelmed with the onslaught of daily life? Do you yearn for peace but feel it's impossible to find? A Holy Hour is the perfect answer and a Holy Hour journal is the perfect companion. Holy Hours help you grow spiritually and deepen your relationship with God. You'll find you're able to focus more on God, adore Jesus, and open up to the Holy Spirit. Holy Hour devotional journals are great companions during times of prayer and meditation. Today many Christians strive for a daily holy hour, while a growing number of Catholics follow in the footsteps of Bishop Fulton Sheen and practice adoration in front of the blessed sacrament. My Holy Hour journals, with their blank lined pages, offer an opportunity to capture those moments of inspiration that happen during Eucharistic and private prayers and meditations, as well as during bible study, worship times, and mass. This devotional prayer journal contains 110 blank lined pages and the following sections: Why Keep a Holy Hour How to Keep a Holy Hour Holy Hour Pages Holy Hour Quotes Record Your Favorite Quotes Personal Index Pages My Holy Hour journals are designed to help Catholics and other Christians from all walks of life discover, explore, and enjoy the many rewards formed by a deeper connection to Christ.
