HAPPY FEAST DAY

 It has been almost one year (October 7) since my patroness was canonized, so I thought I would do a short update for her feast.

Paraclete Press has put out a revised edition of  St. Hildegard of Bingen, Doctor of the Church: A Spiritual Reader.

"Meet the incomparable St. Hildegard: nourishing, challenging, and idea-bursting. This essential reader includes selections from her songs, theological texts, liturgical music, and letters and will stir and awaken your soul. Combined with an introduction to St.Hildegard’s life and era, a map of the saint's Germany, chronology, and a thorough bibliography/discography, St. Hildegard of Bingen provides the ideal introduction to the thought of this fascinating medieval mystic and the newest Doctor of the Church".
