Perfect Harmony

Above all ... put on love which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts... Colossians 3:14-15a

St. Hildegard of Bingen (12th century Germany) was a nun of the Celtic Tradition whom one biographer called the Dear Abby of her day. She is credited with Popes and Princes among her disciples, and is still appreciated for her literature, art, and music. She brought events and people together in peaceful harmony and serves as an enduring example for a believer's mission throughout life. Love lights up the dark matter that connects us to nature and to one another. It is up to each one of us to live peacefully with our ever widening circles of relationships. We simply can not do it without submitting to the rule of Christ which is to be of service toward one another. Shalom, Mother BE
