Walk and live in harmony with God
This pilgrimage aims to help you walk and live in harmony with God and learn to see the “living sparks” of God’s love in all that you come across.
Embark on the “Hildegard von Bingen Pilgrimage Trail” and follow the footsteps of the saint through the land of Hildegard. This 137-kilometer pilgrimage trail starts in Idar-Oberstein and goes through the most important stations in Hildegard’s life, including Disibodenberg, Sponheim, and Bingen on the Rhine.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Fire of the Spirit, life of the lives of creatures,
spiral of sanctity, bond of all natures,
glow of charity, lights of clarity, taste
of sweetness to sinners, be with us and hear us.
Composer of all things, light of all the risen,
key of salvation, release from the dark prison,
hope of all unions, scope of chastities, joy
in the glory, strong honour, be with us and hear us.
Amen.
By: Hildegard von Bingen
