I believe that we’re all called to union with God, that we’re all called to speak the word of God in ungodly places and to ungodly situations. We’re all called to be prophets and mystics. The important thing is that you know who you are at all times. Never let any words seduce you or confuse you. Put the center of your heart in the hands of God and you will be fine.
—from St. Anthony Messenger‘s “Joan Chittister, OSB, on Hildegard of Bingen“
