Hildegard’s holistic approach to God and humanity is relevant today, particularly to those longing for wholeness and healing for all of creation. Her term for the grace of God inherent in all living things was viriditas, or greenness, endearing her in our generation to followers of creation spirituality. She finally was able to understand her visions as a means of divine revelation and began to write extensively about them. Even as a child, she experienced supernatural religious visions in which she saw things invisible to others, foretold the future, and was filled with a luminosity she later called “the reflection of the Living Light.” At age thirty-eight, she became abbess of the Benedictine community in which she was raised and, five years later, received her call to prophesy when she saw a fiery light that infused her heart and mind with knowledge. Hildegard was sent to the convent at the age of eight, where she learned to read Scripture, pray, and chant.
