back to Saint Hildegard of Bingen

“O felix anima …” by Saint Hildegard of Bingen 🇩🇪 (c. 1098 – 17 Sep 1179)
Translated from the Latin by Nathaniel M. Campbell
Responsory for St. Disibod
​
R. O happy soul,
whose body
from the earth
has sprung
and with this worldly pilgrimage
you’ve trod it down:
​
R. So with rationality divine—
which made you as its mirror—
you have been crowned.
​
V. The Holy Spirit, too,
has looked to you
to be its habitation.
​
R. So with rationality divine—
which made you as its mirror—
you have been crowned.
​
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.
