Doctor of the Church

“God is the brightest of lights which can never be extinguished,
and the choirs of angels radiate light from the divinity.
Angels are pure praise without any trace of a bodily deed.”

Antiphon to Mary

O most splendid jewel
clear beauty of the sun
which was poured into you
a fountain leaping
from the Father’s heart
that is the peerless Word.

St. Hildegard of Bingen
