Greenness – Christine Valters Paintner
“Viriditas is Hildegard’s singular idea to illuminate the dynamic interconnectedness and intercommunion of all levels of created life with each other and with God as Source. Her emphasis on greenness symbolizes the inner dynamism of life in all its burgeoning growth, vibrancy, freshness, and fecundity as emanating from the life-creating and sustaining power of God.”

Is there a danger of worshiping the creation rather than the creator.
There can be. As I read Hildegard, creation is one of the lenses through which our Creator reveals God’s self to us.
