Caritas abundat in omnia is Hildegard von Bingen's short hymn to Love. In her visions Caritas is a living presence, a feminine figure who fills the world from its depths to past the stars.
Love abounds in all things, from the depths, most excellent, beyond the stars, and most loving towards all.
The last line is the boldest: Love has given the highest King the kiss of peace, the greeting the monks and nuns exchanged at Mass. Love meets God face to face, as a friend. A minute and a half of music that carries the whole of her teaching.
