Vision Page #3
I take them seriously.
The only thing I'll find hard
is the vow of silence.
I have so many thoughts
I want to share with someone.
We all feel that way to begin with.
The sylphs sometimes come at night.
Try to drive them out with prayer.
I've tried.
- You must have patience, child.
Stay in the garden awhile.
Enjoy the quietude,
listen to the birds...
She can speak and write Latin.
We could use a little demon like her.
It says here:
"Thus I am the living spring,
because all that was created
was like a shadow within Me. "
But the venerable Mother wrote:
"Verat umbra e Me fuerant".
It should be "fuit". Can I correct it?
Yes.
I'll suggest to the Magistra
that you join us when we work.
Thank you!
In the presence of the brothers
and sisters gathered here, I ask you:
Do you swear
to remain loyal
to this cloister and our community,
through good and bad?
I swear it.
Do you swear, under the guidance
of the Gospels, to seek God,
to strive for repentance,
and to lead your life
according to St. Benedict's rules?
Yes, I swear it.
Will you honorJesus above all else,
and swear obedience?
Yes, I swear it.
May God, who began His good work
in you, complete it.
Amen.
Wear this veil as a sign
that you no longer belong to yourself,
but to Christ.
With Him you are joined in God.
Amen.
God has called upon
this sister of ours
to follow Christ in the monastic life.
Let us ask the Almighty Father
and to help her
to realize the oath she took today.
Venerable Mother?
This is my brother, Hartwig.
Thank you for having the patience
for my little sister.
As a child she climbed trees
instead of praying.
I believe one can pray even up a tree.
Our saints managed it on columns.
Just as the earth
lets grow things of use and of no use,
the feet of man carry them
to deeds of use and of no use.
When man does good deeds,
the elements have their proper path.
But when he does bad deeds,
he turns the elements
against himself in punishment.
Do you believe that the elements
can turn against us to punish us?
Yes, my child, I do.
That is why
we must account for everything we do
and chasten ourselves.
For without the elements,
man cannot live.
Sister Richardis.
We'll continue tomorrow,
Sister Richardis.
Straight after prayers.
Please bring me some wormwood wine.
Stand up and look at me.
You have broken the vow of chastity?
When did your menstruation stop?
Any other woman could rejoice.
But you have broken our rules.
Perhaps there's a medicine I could take?
Sister Clara
will have to leave the cloister.
No.
Please don't send me away!
I regret it so deeply!
Believe me, my child,
it weighs on my heart as much as yours.
The only thing we can do for you...
is to let you leave voluntarily.
- No.
Your sisters will not find out.
- No.
Don't send me away!
And ask God for forgiveness.
Don't send me away. Please, no!
I can't return to my family.
We'll find a way.
We need a cloister of our own.
Your own cloister?
The hermitage is too small for us.
Who gave you this heretical idea?
where we shall build our new dwelling.
And where is it?
Where the Nahe meets the Rhine,
on Rupert Hill.
It belongs to Count von Hildesheim.
We will not appropriate any property.
So how will you acquire it?
Using the gifts from our families.
They gave the gifts to this cloister!
Yes, but largely because
Jutta the Holy was here.
Now it is me who is revered.
I would never let you virgins
go anywhere unprotected.
Our virgins are unprotected here.
What do you mean by that?
For the male spirit it is often harder
than for us
to resist the temptation of the flesh.
Curb your tongue, Hildegard.
By our presence here, we are unable
to help our brothers in their zeal
to conquer their flesh.
If anyone here
cannot conquer their flesh...
it is your sisters!
They seduce my brothers!
And not the other way around.
- The brother who seduced Clara lives,
and will not reveal himself.
But she paid with her life.
I hope that God sent her
to the darkest corner of Hell.
And what do you hope for your brother?
The kingdom of Heaven?
I shall write to the Dom Chapter today
and ask for your excommunication.
And I shall return tomorrow.
We took a vow never to leave this place.
Not until we die.
And after that,
we'll be buried here in our graveyard.
I know my plan is against our rules.
But I'm responsible for our well-being,
and for those who'll join us in future.
I don't think
our mother would have agreed.
And I want to be buried beside her.
I am your mother now.
We can ask for her help in our prayers,
but you and I must act.
Are you willing to do it?
I will not break my vow.
It's the first time you leave me alone.
Alone?
Ask your little Richardis,
she'll follow you anywhere.
For the last time:
You've taken the veil here,
and your sisters will be buried here.
I will also contravene
the Archbishop's orders.
Even he serves a higher master,
and it's from Him that I take orders.
You?
You take orders from the Devil!
You believe you're chosen by God,
but you've been tricked by an illusion.
Did you speak with the Father?
Venerable Father...
The Magistra is very ill.
She can no longer talk.
She has talked too much already.
But it is not her, Father!
Yes, it's the "living light".
You no longer believe in her gift?
I'm not the only critic of her visions:
Many eminent clerics are convinced
that they are fake.
But you have always supported her!
She's long known how to trick me.
Venerable Father!
I fear she'll die.
If so, then it is God's will.
Let us pray.
God our Father,
we commend Sister Hildegard to You.
Her pilgrimage has reached an end.
Deliver her from all evil,
that she may return to eternal peace.
Welcome her to paradise,
where there is no grief,
no mourning, and no pain,
but only peace and joy with Your son
and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever,
amen.
Brood of vipers!
Archbishop Heinrich of Mainz
permits you and your sisters
to leave our cloister
and to move to the place
that appeared in your vision.
Without God's help
it would not have succeeded.
I want you to hear our confessions
before we leave here.
We must be pure of heart
when we leave this place.
How long will it take
before we at least have a roof?
It depends on the weather, Mother.
I want running water
in all the work rooms.
That's rather unusual,
and not easy to accomplish.
Water cleans the soul as well as the body.
Even the Romans knew that.
You'll have to put more effort in.
It would've been easier had you moved
to the other side of the Rhine.
Yes, but Saint Rupert lived here.
And we're less cut off
than we were at Disibodenberg.
Bingen, the Rhine, the Nahe...
Travelers from all over the world
will bring us their learning.
I heard from Salerno that Arabic
medicine is more advanced than ours.
