Hildegarde de Bingen citations

Hildegarde de Bingen , née en 1098 à Bermersheim vor der Höhe près d'Alzey et morte le 17 septembre 1179 à Rupertsberg , est une religieuse bénédictine mystique, compositrice et femme de lettres franconienne, sainte de l'Église catholique du XIIe siècle. Elle a été aussi plus rarement dénommée Hildegarde de Rupertsberg.

Le 10 mai 2012, le pape Benoît XVI étend le culte liturgique de sainte Hildegarde à l'Église universelle, dans un processus connu sous le nom de « canonisation équipollente », ou canonisation équivalente. Le 28 mai 2012, Benoît XVI annonce la proclamation d'Hildegarde de Bingen comme Docteur de l'Église, qui a eu lieu le 7 octobre 2012,, faisant d'elle la quatrième femme Docteur de l'Église après Catherine de Sienne, Thérèse d'Avila et Thérèse de Lisieux. Cette reconnaissance en théologie est la plus haute de l'Église catholique, affirmant par là même l'exemplarité de la vie mais aussi des écrits d'Hildegarde comme modèle pour tous les catholiques,.

Hildegarde de Bingen: Citations en anglais

“We cannot live in a world that is interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is not a hope. Part of the terror is to take back our own listening. To use our own voice. To see our own light.”

Hildegard of Bingen

“Now, O son of God, set in the valley of true humility, walk in peace without pride of spirit, which, like a precipitous mountain, offers a difficult, or near-impossible, ascent or descent to those who attempt to scale it, and on its summit no building can be built. For a person who tries to climb higher than he can achieve possesses the name of sanctity without substance, because, in name alone without a structure of good works, he glories in a kind of vain joy of the mind.”

Letter to the Monk Guibert, 1176

“Angels, living light most glorious!
Beneath the Godhead in burning desire
in the darkness and mystery of creation
you look on the eye of your God
never taking your fill:
What glorious pleasures take shape within you!”

"O gloriosissimi"

“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.”

"O eterne deus"

“Father, I am greatly disturbed by a vision which has appeared to me through divine revelation, a vision seen not with my fleshly eyes but only in my spirit. Wretched, and indeed more than wretched in my womanly condition, I have from earliest childhood seen great marvels which my tongue has no power to express but which the Spirit of God has taught me that I may believe." Steadfast and gentle father, in your kindness respond to me, your unworthy servant, who has never, from her earliest childhood, lived one hour free from anxiety. In your piety and wisdom look in your spirit, as you have been taught by the Holy Spirit, and from your heart bring comfort to your handmaiden.”

Letter to Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux, 1146-47

“O venerable father Bernard, I lay my claim before you, for, highly honored by God, you bring fear to the immoral foolishness of this world and, in your intense zeal and burning love for the Son of God, gather men [cf. Luke 5.10] into Christ's army to fight under the banner of the cross against pagan savagery. I beseech you in the name of the Living God to give heed to my queries.”

Letter to Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux, 1146-47

“O dawn, you washed them away
in a woman who was clean.
O form of woman, sister of Wisdom,
how great is your glory!
For in you there rose a life unquenchable
that death shall never stifle.
Wisdom exalted you to make
all creatures fairer in your beauty
than they were when the world was born.”
