Chapter 39OrdV.1.39
Innocentia
Flee the Devil's Filth
Innocentia urgently calls the sheep to flee from the Devil's corruption.
Flee, you sheep, from the filth of the Devil!
Read the original Latin
Fugite, oves, spurcicias Diaboli!
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
