“God has arranged all things in the world in consideration of everything else.”—St. Hildegard of Bingen 

Abbess, artist, author, composer, mystic, pharmacist, poet, preacher, theologian—where to begin in describing this remarkable woman? Each of us has many different facets to our lives. How would you describe yourself if someone asked? 

If you were to write letters to people offering them advice, as Hildegard did, what would you say?
