"Opus Verbi viriditas"


My favorite 12th century Christian mystic, philosopher, and abbess, Hildegard of Bingen, coined the word 'viriditas' to describe her belief that God's Living Water, the Word, greens the soul making it moist, fecund, and saturated with His love. This greening of the soul connects it deeply with its sacred source.  Greening the earth with His holy rain, God brings us to awareness of His presence in all things. "Opus Verbi viriditas" the work of the Word is greenness.

The beautiful song "Water, River, Spirit, Grace"  sung by Trish Bruxvoort Colligan and used by gracious permission from River's Voice. Please check out their website...Richard and Trish are talented songwriters and musicians.
