Summary: <br> Day 2<br> St. Hildegard you have said:<br> These visions which I saw were not in sleep nor in dreams, nor in my imagination nor by bodily eyes or outward ears nor in a hidden place; but in watching, aware with the pure eyes of the mind and inner ear of the heart.<br> <br> 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….<br> God is the foundation for everything<br> This God undertakes, God gives.<br> Such that nothing that is necessary for life is lacking.<br> Now humankind needs a body that at all times honors and praises God.<br> This body is supported in every way through the earth.<br> Thus the earth glorifies the power of God.<br> 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.
