Chapter 68OrdV.1.68
Humilitas
A Plea for Healing Through Christ's Wounds
The virtues are called to receive the grieving sinner through the wounds of Christ and bring him into communion with them.
All you virtues, welcome the grieving sinner in his own wounds, for the sake of Christ's wounds, and bring him to me.
Read the original Latin
O omnes Virtutes, suscipite lugentem peccatorem, in suis cicatricibus, propter vulnera Christi, et perducite eum ad me.

- 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
