O ignis Spiritus Paracliti

O ignis Spiritus Paracliti Hildegard von  Bingen (1098 - 1179) O ignis Spiritus Paracliti, vita vite omnis creature, sanctus es vivificando formas. Sanctus es ungendo periculose fractos, sanctus es tergendo fetida vulnera. O spiraculum sanctitatis, o ignis caritatis, o dulcis gustus in pectoribus et infusio cordium in bono odore virtutum. O fons purissimus, in quo consideratur, quod Deus alienos colligit et perditos requirit. O lorica vite et spes compaginis membrorum omnium et o cingulum honestatis, salva beatos. Custodi eos, qui carcerati sunt ab inimico, et solve ligatos, quos divina vis salvare vult. O iter fortissimum, quod penetravit omnia in altissimis et in terrenis et in omnibus abyssis, tu omnes componis et colligis. De te nubes fluunt, ether volat, lapides humorem habent, aque revulos educunt et terra viriditatem sudat. Tu etiam semper educis doctos, per inspirationem sapientie letificatos. Unde laus tibi sit, qui es sonus laudis et gaudium vite, spes et homor fortissimus, dans premia lucis.

O Comforting fire of Spirit Hildegard von  Bingen (1098 - 1179) O comforting fire of Spirit, Life, within the very Life of all Creation. Holy you are in giving life to All. Holy you are in anointing those who are not whole; Holy you are in cleansing a festering wound. O sacred breath, O fire of love, O sweetest taste in my breast which fills my heart with a fine aroma of virtues. O most pure fountain through whom it is known that God has united strangers and inquired after the lost. O breastplate of life and hope of uniting all members as One, O sword-belt of honor, enfold those who offer blessing. Care for those who are imprisoned by the enemy and dissolve the bonds of those whom Divinity wishes to save. O mightiest path which penetrates All, from the height to every Earthly abyss, you compose All, you unite All. Through you clouds stream, ether flies, stones gain moisture, waters become streams, and the earth exudes Life. You always draw out knowledge, bringing joy through Wisdom's inspiration. Therefore, praise be to you who are the sound of praise and the greatest prize of Life, who are hope and richest honor bequeathing the reward of Light.
