Chapter 64OrdV.1.64
Virtutes
Come and Follow
The Virtues invite the soul to run to them and follow their sure footsteps, promising safekeeping in their company.
Run to us, and follow those footsteps in which you will never stumble in our company, and you will be cared for.
Read the original Latin
Curre ad nos, et sequere vestigia illa in quibus numquam cades in societate nostra, et des curabit te.
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
