Don't let yourself forget that God's grace rewards not only those who never slip, but also those who bend and fall. So sing! The song of rejoicing softens hard hearts. It makes tears of godly sorrow flow from them. Singing summons the Holy Spirit. Happy praises offered in simplicity and love lead the faithful to complete harmony, without discord. Don't stop singing.
Hildegard of BingenThe Word is living, being, spirit, all verdant greening, all creativity. This Word manifests itself in every creature.
Hildegard of BingenEvery element has a sound, an original sound from the order of God; all those sounds unite like the harmony from harps and zithers.
