1 " Let us always invoke the Holy Spirit, so that he may inspire in the Church holy and courageous women, like St. Hildegard of Bingen, who, developing the gifts they have received from God, make their own special and valuable contributions to the spiritual development of our communities and of the Church in our time. "
― Benedict XVI , Holy Women
