Cogitamus exempli gratia de charismatis ratiocinationisque facultate, qua pollebat Hildegardis, quae vividum incitamentum ostenditur ad theologicam inquisitionem; ad meditationem de Christi mysterio, in eius pulchritudine considerato, ad dialogum de Ecclesia ac theologia cum cultura, scientia et huius temporis arte, ad vitae consecratae spectabile propositum, in quo homo se complere potest, ad liturgiam aestimandam, tamquam vitae celebrationem, ad propositum Ecclesiae reformandae, quod secum fert non vacuam structurarum commutationem, sed cordis conversionem, ad eius in naturam studium, cuius leges sunt tuendae, non violandae.
For example, we think of Hildegard’s charismatic and speculative capacity, which offers a lively incentive to theological research; her reflection on the mystery of Christ, considered in its beauty; the dialogue of the Church and theology with culture, science and contemporary art; the ideal of the consecrated life as a possibility for human fulfilment; her appreciation of the liturgy as a celebration of life; her understanding of the reform of the Church, not as an empty change of structure but as conversion of heart; her sensitivity to nature, whose laws are to be safeguarded and not violated.vatican.va vatican.va
