## Resource

Viriditas – that greening force extolled by Hildegard of Bingen, signifying life’s inexhaustible power to heal, to renew, and to bind together heaven and earth. To remain rooted in an age of severance is to resist the centrifugal pull of modernity. Recovering our vital connection to place, to tradition, and to the sacramental cosmos becomes the necessary labour of those who refuse to be torn from the ineffable Source of LIFE.
