Hildegard was a woman of faith who lived in the Middle Ages. She was many things including an Abbess, with her courage and dedication to God nothing short of remarkable. Her kindness and devotion to God’s Word and others were obvious; she once befriended a persecuted young women whose mother opposed her staying in the convent. Hildegard also saw visions from the Holy Spirit and shared those visions, but was questioned repeatedly by the Church and eventually brought to trial.

She wrote several books about her visions, which caused more conflict with the church hierarchy. But in ll50 she followed her visions and started a convent in Bingen, Germany. She died 29 years later at age 81.
