Let There Be Light is an easy-to-use devotional that encourages you to experience the light of God in your daily life. This book offers you a personal, thirty-day retreat based on the spiritual insight and wisdom of St. Hildegard of Bingen, the Benedictine who was canonized in 2012 and who became only the fourth woman to be elevated as a Doctor of the Church. Part of the bestselling 30 Days with a Great Spiritual Teacher series, Let There Be Light will help you find your way through the darkness and into the light of divine love.

First published in 1997 and now back in print, Let There Be Light is an excellent prayer companion for busy people who want to root their spiritual practice in the solid ground of St. Hildegard of Bingen’s timeless and timely teachings on living in the light of God. Hildegard (1098–1179) was a renowned Benedictine abbess and a popular preacher, teacher, and healer who has been venerated by Christians for centuries.  She was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI in May of 2012 and in October of that same year was elevated as a Doctor of the Church.

Rather than a mystic who wrote out of an intense personal experience of God, St. Hildegard is more properly seen as a visionary and a prophet who provides complex images in her writing that are ripe for interpretation. As you reflect on the images offered to her by God, Hildegard offers you a path to live in the light of God each moment of the day.

All titles in the 30 Days with a Great Spiritual Teacher series contain a brief and accessible morning meditation drawn from the author’s writings, a simple mantra for use throughout the day, and a night prayer to focus your thoughts as the day ends.

Praise

“This book is a treasure for daily prayer with suggestions from the twelfth-century luminary St. Hildegard of Bingen for morning, daytime, and evening. Allow Hildegard to inspire and companion you each day and discover a wise and creative guide in this wonderful resource.”
Christine Valters Paintner, Author of The Soul’s Slow Ripening
“This wonderful book offers us another way to approach God—as the mysterium tremendum, or great mystery—and teaches us a deeper and more powerful way to pray.”
Paula Huston, Author of One Ordinary Sunday
“The wisdom of twelfth-century mystic Hildegard of Bingen comes to life in Let There Be Light. Hildegard’s descriptions of God open the imagination, beckoning readers to explore their own connections to the divine.”
Jessie Bazan, Editor and coauthor of Dear Joan Chittister
