Hildegard of Bingen, a 12th century
German, was the first woman to be recognized as a prophetess by the Roman
Catholic Church. Hildegard has inspired both church leaders and feminists for
years.
She was born at Rheinhesse in
Germany in 1098. She was the tenth child of Hildebert and Mechthild von
Bermersheim, minor nobility of the Holy Roman Empire. Hildegarde of Bingen
was dedicated at birth to the church. At age of 8 her aristocratic family
sent Hildegarde to be educated by an anchoress named Jutta von Spanheimat a
Monastery in Disibodenberg near Rheinhesse. Hildegard of Bingen took the veil
and made her nun's vows at the age of 15. A convent was built next to the
Monastery and Hildegarde became the Abbess. She then founded a convent at
Bingen.
Hildegarde suffered from terrible
migraines which many believed led to her visions. She confided the visions
only in Jutta and in a monk named Volmar. The visions clarified the meaning
of major Biblical and religious texts. She documented this in the Scivias.
St. Hildegard was one of the most
active women of her time. She wrote about theology and morals, but also about
medicine and science. She even found the time to compose 78 musical pieces.
Hildegard once said, “These visions
which I saw—I beheld them neither in sleep nor dreaming nor in madness nor
with my bodily eyes or ears, nor in hidden places; but I saw them in full
view and according to God’s will, when I was wakeful and alert, with the eyes
of the spirit and the inward ears.”
Hildegard of Bingen died in 1179 at
the age of 82 years of age. *Although, she has been considered a saint for
centuries, she has officially recognized as a saint by Pope Benedict XVI on
10th May 2012.
Declared a Doctor of the Church by
Pope Benedict XVI on 7 October 2012.

He was born on 6 January 1499 or
1500 in Almodóvar del Campo (Ciudad Real, in the Archdiocese of Toledo). He
was the only son of devout Christian parents, Alonso Ávila and Catalina
Gijón, who were wealthy and of high social standing.
When John was fourteen years old, he
was sent to study law at the prestigious University of Salamanca. He left his
studies at the end of the fourth term, after a profound experience of
conversion. This prompted him to return home to devote himself to meditation
and prayer.
Following the death of his parents,
he liquidated most of his large fortune, and gave it to the poor. Ordained in
1525. He wanted to be a missionary in the West Indies and Mexico, but became
a travelling preacher in Andalusia for 40 years, re-evangelizing a region
previously ruled by the Moors.
He spoke boldly against the sins of
the ruling classes, made powerful enemies, and at one point was imprisoned in
Seville, Spain by the Inquisition, accused of false teachings; the charges
were dismissed, John was released, and his preaching became more popular than
ever.
Spiritual director of Saint Teresa
of Avila, Saint Francis Borgia, Saint John of God, Saint John of the Cross,
Saint Peter of Alcántara, and Saint Louis of Granada.
From early 1551 John was the victim
of constant ill-health. He spent the last years of his life in
semi-retirement in the town of Montilla in the Province of Córdoba. He died
there on 10 May 1569, and in accordance with his wishes was buried in that
city, in the Jesuit Church of the Incarnation, which now serves as the
sanctuary to his memory.
Blessed John of Avila's works were
collected at Madrid in 1618, 1757, 1792, 1805; a French translation by
d'Andilly was published at Paris in 1673; and a German translation by
Schermer in six volumes was issued at Ratisbon between 1856 and 1881. His
best known works are the "Audi Fili" (English translation, 1620),
one of the best tracts on Christian perfection, and his "Spiritual
Letters" (English translation, 1631, London, 1904) to his disciples.
Declared a Doctor of the Church by
Pope Benedict XVI on 7 October 2012.
