Chapter 50OrdV.1.50
Virtutes
The Mother of Pilgrims
The soul praises the blessed Virgin as the compassionate mother who continually uplifts pilgrims, anointing the poor and the weak.
O praiseworthy mother of pilgrims, you always lift them up, and you anoint the poor and the weak.
Read the original Latin
O laudabilis mater peregrinorum, tu semper erigis illos, atque ungis pauperes et debiles.

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 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
