Virtutes
The Virtues' Pledge of Obedience
The Virtues declare their wholehearted obedience to their queen and commit to carrying out her commands in all things.
O our queen, we will obey you and carry out your commands in all things.

O regina nostra, tibi parebimus, et precepta tua in omnibus adimplebimus.
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
