All Saints

[apophasis]

In response to geza's wishes for All Saint's Day, I thought I would give a small account of one of my own favorite saints. I know for some on my list, this is of no interest, so feel free to pass it by. For others, feel free to respond with some notes about a saint closest to you.

"Prayer is nothing but the inhaling and exhaling of the one breath of the universe."
-Hildegard von Bingen



"Then I will leap into Love
And from Love into Knowledge,
And from Knowledge into the Harvest,
That sweetest Fruit beyond human sense.

There I will stay with You, whirling."
-Mechtild of Magdeburg
