                                                              Eastertide: Day 18

Not only is today the 18th day of the season of Easter, but it's also Earth Day!  In honor of Earth Day, here's an appropriate quote from St. Hildegard of Bingen, saint, mystic and a Doctor of the Church.

God is the foundation for everything.
This God undertakes, God gives.
Such that nothing that is necessary for life is lacking.
Now humankind needs a body that at all times honors and praises God. 
This body is supported in every way through the earth. 
​Thus, the earth glorifies the power of God.
