I entreat you: by the brightness of the Father, by his wonderful Word, by the sweet humor of compunction, by the Spirit of Truth, by the sacred sound through which all creation resounds, by the Word from which all the world was created, by the height of the Father who through the sweet power of green vigor sent the Word to the Virgin’s womb where it took on flesh like honey in the honeycomb!

In music, art, medicine, and spiritual writings, Hildegard of Bingen sought to express “the sacred sound through which all creation resounds.”
