  St. Hildegard von Bingen Novena – Day 9 16.09.2026 2min

  Day 9 St. Hildegard you have said: “A human being is a vessel that God has built for himself and filled with his inspiration so that his works are perfected in it.” “Now, O son of God, set in the valley of true humility, walk in peace without pride of spirit, which, like a precipitous mountain, offers a difficult, or near-impossible, ascent or descent to those who attempt to scale it, and on its summit no building can be built. For a person who tries to climb higher than he can achieve possesses the name of sanctity without substance, because, in name alone without a structure of good works, he glories in a kind of vain joy of the mind.” "Humility always groans, weeps and destroys all offenses, for this is its work. So let anyone who wishes to conquer the Devil arm himself with humility, since Lucifer fervently flees it and hides in its presence like a snake in a hole; for wherever it finds him, it quickly snaps him like a fragile thread."

  St. Hildegard von Bingen Novena – Day 8 15.09.2026 2min

  Day 8 St. Hildegard you have said: “People have within themselves struggles of confession and of denial… And in this struggle the question is: Is there a God or not? The answer comes from the Holy Spirit Who dwells in the person: God is, and created you, and also redeemed you. As long as this question and answer are in a person, the power of God will not be absent from him, for this question and answer carries with it penitence. But when this question is not in a person, neither is the answer of the Holy Spirit, for such a person drives out God’s gift from himself and without the question that leads to penitence, throws himself upon death. And the Virtues display to God the battles of these wars, for they are the seal that shows God the intention that worships or denies Him.” The post St. Hildegard von Bingen Novena – Day 8 appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

  St. Hildegard von Bingen Novena – Day 7 14.09.2026 2min

  St. Hildegard, you have said: 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. The post St. Hildegard von Bingen Novena – Day 7 appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

  Day 4 St. Hildegard you have said: Listen: there was once a king sitting on his throne. Around Him stood great and wonderfully beautiful columns ornamented with ivory, bearing the banners of the king with great honour. Then it pleased the king to raise a small feather from the ground, and he commanded it to fly. The feather flew, not because of anything in itself but because the air bore it along. Thus am I, a feather on the breath of God. The post St. Hildegard von Bingen Novena – Day 4 appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.
