Juetta Von Bingen Monologue
Hildegard von Bingen
I am the youngest of ten children. My family is a very noble unit. We put our faith in the catholic religion. I have been promised to the church by my family, since I am the tenth child. My family sent me to the monastery of Disobodenberg to be at the service of Countess Jutta Von Sponheim.
I have spent many years in this monastery, enclosed in a cell that I share with many other women. I like attending mass. I am part of the choir; I get to recite antiphons.
Jutta has been my teacher and mentor for many years, we have a strange friendship; she is cruel and rigid but entirely devoted to God. Jutta has been good to me. She has taught me many things; she’s taught me to write, how to sing, how to read plasm, and how to follow the way of God.
Today Jutta Von Sponheim has died, I will become abbess of

It is in the sixth mode with a range of a twelfth. One of the boys in the church helped me. The do-mi-sol progression, the last note on do!
I have visions. I hear things, they tell me to share my visions with the world. My dear friend Volmar is helping me record these events. He encourages me to share with the world, I am afraid to share them, they might think I’m crazy.
I consider myself a healer. I love to help people; I love to practice medicine. I write books about medicine and how I heal the people that come looking for help. I love using the gardens of the monastery to make new medications.
The people that come to church like my music. I can see how my compositions free them. My melodies enchant the people. I love when the choir chants, it helps the congregation meditate.
I am getting older; I wonder if my music will ever be heard outside these walls. Oh the music! Will my message about God be remembered for ages? What about my medicine. I want people to know what I use to heal people. I have lived a full life I am ready to sing with Him!
O virtus Sapientiae, quae circuiens

    Sitting at my desk, as my red pen completed a circle around the paper, a little boy, no more than seven years old, dashed into the Kumon Center. " Hi everyone, I'm here", he exclaimed. He circled around the room as if he was in a marching band, before making his way to his seat.…

    Attached, is a selfie of him and Trevillo Nelson. Trevillo is biting his lips, looking like the billions of dollars that he is worth, but Noah just looks annoyed. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I wholeheartedly believe that, because Trevillo is drop-dead hot, but seeing them side-by-side, my man is way hotter—even visibly miserable and annoyed. Dammit, but I want to go find him and grind on that beautiful face until I shatter to smithereens.…

    Somewhere, the sun shines down upon a warm spring morning. Here at the edge of a dark lush forest, in an idyllic and lively little village, stands a peaceful old church. It is a beautiful building with purple flowering wisteria climbing up the old stone walls. The church stands in a pretty churchyard full of brightly colored roses, and the pale spring blossoms float down from the trees onto freshly cut green grass. It is a serene place to while away the hours, and many people come by simply to sit on the benches here, admiring the church and its churchyard.…

    Hildegard von Bingen was a German Benedictine abbess, theologian, and visionary writer, known across Europe as Saint Hildegard or Sybil of the Rhine. She produced major works of religious literature including visionary tracts, essays on natural science and medicine, liturgical dramas, and songs for devotional performance (The State College of Florida). The twelfth century Catholic Church recognized the divine source of Hildegard’s prophecies, and authorized her to organize events of public ministry outside the walls of her cloisters. During a time when the ideas of few women were acknowledged, her teachings reinforced the religious practice of the Christian faith, and inspired the works of other leading mystics of the middle ages (Benedict…

    As stated in the Catechism, “The human person needs to live in a society. Society is not for him an extraneous addition but a requirement of his nature.” This is then how man is able to respond to his vocation.

Soon after, she rejoined her family life and went into public to help people in need. She often visited hospitals and homes of the poor and sick.

    St. Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) was a German composer, poet, philosopher, mystic, linguist, botanist, and medical theorist. She left us with about seventy poems and nine books. Two of them are books of medical and pharmaceutical advice about the human body and the properties of herbs. She was an influential and spiritual woman whose loyal devotion led the way for future generations of women to be successful in fields such as theology, medicine, music and art. At a very early age, she experienced visions of a powerful light, but she hid her prophetic abilities until much later in life. At the age of eight she went to the Benedictine Monastery at Mount St. Disibode to be educated. Hildegard died in 1179 and it wasn’t until Pope Benedict XVI…

    A major need that she responded to was the Protestant Reformation. Her first major contribution was that she founded the Discalced Carmelites. When Teresa experienced her conversion, many people did not like what had happened to her, and some people even thought her visions were from the devil. She was determined to found a new convent that went back to a simple life of poverty and prayer. Many people started legal proceedings against her, however she continued her work. She founded over a dozen and her ideas soon swept through Spain and Europe. Her second major contribution was her spiritual teachings and writings. With the empowerment of Christ, she wrote four books on prayer and spiritual life. She wrote The Book of Her Life, The Way of Perception, The Book of Foundations, and The Interior Castle. In these is a power and strength to inspire the world. Teresa’s third major contribution was that she reformed the Roman Catholic church from within and strengthened the religious life of Spain. This was during the time of the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Church was struggling. Her monasteries were places of faith standing for Christianity in the midst of the Church being torn apart by the Reformation. She did not intend to be a social reformer, but her nuns affected the change necessary in society by their faithfulness to prayer and to God (Campbell). Saint Teresa embodies the Church as Body of Christ. By professing her Christian faith and keeping the Catholic Church together during the Reformation, she helped the community of believers become the body of Jesus Christ on earth. She emphasized spiritual communion and brought together the community of grace in…

    The background behind this monologue was when Romeo saw Juliet at Mercutio’s and Benvolio's party, hoping to get Rosaline off Romeo's mind. Before the party Romeo was heart-broken over Rosaline and was convinced that he would never be able to get over her. However, he quickly forgot about Rosaline as soon as he laid eyes on Juliet. The main idea of this passage is basically saying how Romeo has never seen a girl as beautiful and as pretty and Juliet and how he would do anything to see her again. One character trait that Romeo is showing us early on is his shallowness.…

    “Today, perhaps no figure has come to symbolize undiluted goodness, piety, and compassion more than the small, elderly Albanian nun Agnes Bojaxhiu—known to millions as Mother Teresa” (Fosl, 1999, p. 115). Mother Teresa is among the most fascinating and extremely respected women of the twentieth century. She was a woman who saved lives and changed them through the absolute force of her faith and determination. Mother Teresa was devoted to be loved in action on earth.…

    On April 3, I visited the 9:00 AM mass at Holy Family Catholic Church in Kirkland with my grandma who has been a practicing Catholic her entire life. The church had a very welcoming atmosphere. The church building is somewhat simple, without many of the top decorations. The architecture is simple, and resembles that of many other small churches. There is a steep area of the roof that is a common characteristic of a church's architecture. On the inside there were many rows of pews from the front near the altar to the back. On the altar there was an organ, a large cross, and a hanging, medium-sized stained glass.…
