Chapter 57OrdV.1.57
Humilitas
Remembering God's Raising Up
Humility calls the children of Zion to remember God's past raising up and to rejoice in the present.
O children of Israel, God raised you up under a tree; so remember, in this present time, your planting. Rejoice, then, daughters of Zion!
Read the original Latin
O filie Israhel, sub arbore suscitavit vos deus, unde in hoc tempore recordamini plantationis sae. Gaudete ergo, filie Syon!

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
