Chapter 12OrdV.1.12
Scientia Dei ad Animam illam
Clothed in Salvation
The soul is urged to recognize its divine garment of salvation and stand firm so that it may never fall.
See what you are clothed in, daughter of salvation, and stand firm—you will never fall.
Read the original Latin
Vide quid illud sit quo es induta, filia salvationis et esto stabilis, et numquam cades.
Ordo Virtutum (Order of the Virtues) companion
Let a different Virtue meet you each morning
Chosen Portion walks you through the whole Ordo Virtutum — and Hildegard's Scivias — as free daily devotionals.
The Ordo was performed scene by scene by Hildegard's nuns, and Chosen Portion restores that rhythm — one scene of the Virtues' drama as each day's devotional.
- The complete 84-scene drama, one short scene per day, in modern readable English
- Each portion pairs the scene with its Scripture echoes — 26 references resolved across the play
- Finish Hildegard, then continue with 70+ other works from Europe's royal devotional archive
