“Bernard of Clairvaux and his Cistercian order led the rediscovery of the importance of Christmass as the celebration of God coming amongst us; the celebration of the incarnation, of the Word made flesh, to pick up the imagery to be found in John 1,” says The Very Rev’d Dr Peter Catt
“Hildegard of Bingen is a rare example of someone who touched nearly every field of human endeavour, leaving her mark on all aspects of life. Like Hildegard, we need to take a broader view of the whole of creation – view it and marvel in it,” says scientist and priest, The Rev’d Selina McMahon on Hildegard of Bingen who is commemorated in our lectionary on 17 September
