(0.00 / 0 votes)The last night of the first millennium
Brothers, this is the night of all nights.
The last night
that we will spend on earth.
After this night
there shall be no new day,
for time has fulfilled itself.
And the earth will perish,
and we with it.
Reflect on your sins, repent,
throw yourselves to the ground,
and await the end in humility
and silence.
That's the sun!
From the life of Hildegard von Bingen
As the new era's first century closed,
a girl, Hildegard,
came into the world.
She would understand the language,
of plants, stones, and animals,
and with her heart
recognize the signs
that are only revealed to a few.
Cloister Disibodenberg
Christ protect you.
You are now his little bride.
Please stay a bit longer!
These are the crests of the families
who generously gave us donations.
You know this one:
The crest of Count von Sponheim's line.
Our most important benefactors.
They've given us much land.
God granted that the count's daughter
has joined our cloister:
Jutta von Sponheim.
She will raise you from now on,
in the robes of humility and innocence.
Here a rich man is punished
for refusing to give and to share.
From now on, I'll be your mother.
You can trust me.
Why don't they look at me?
It's the rule.
- Which rule?
The Benedictines' rule.
You'll soon find out.
Can't I look at you either?
You can look at me,
but not at the men.
This is Jutta.
LittleJutta, my namesake.
Kiss one another.
This is where we'll live together,
until you've taken the vow.
When will that be?
- In eight years.
I always had to take that at home.
Were you often ill?
- Yes, very.
I once had to stay in bed for a year.
Is that why your parents sent you here?
No, I've been given to God as a gift.
God is pleased with his gift,
and so am I.
No, she gave it to me!
No, give it to me!
- Give me the board.
And the pencil.
Now repeat this:
Envy is ugly and misshapen.
"Envy is ugly and misshapen. "
Its bear's paws tear up everything.
Its wooden feet walk dead paths.
"Its bear's paws tear up everything.
Its wooden feet walk dead paths. "
It brings only evil to man.
"It brings only evil to man. "
Love, however,
is the greatest power given by God.
"Love, however,
is the greatest power given by God. "
from going to meet my maker.
Please leave now.
Come and sit with me.
Give me your hand.
I tried to be a good mother to you.
If I failed at times,
forgive me...
and give me a farewell kiss.
SinceJutta von Sponheim
was summoned to God,
there is no one in charge
of the sisters' well-being.
We must bring this situation to an end
and appoint a new magistra.
I thought of you, Hildegard.
Oh, no... Please, venerable Father!
It was the deceased magistra's wish too.
You were her confidante.
She passed on all her knowledge,
human and spiritual, on to you.
I am unworthy.
I shall decide if you are worthy.
No, venerable Father,
As a rule it is the sisters who vote
for their leader.
- That applies to convents.
This is a communal cloister,
and I have the final word.
I can only accept the post
if my sisters vote for me.
I ask you to consider that I am
often very ill.
I am a weak woman.
You've often seen that I could
not fulfill the rules due to sickness
or being too weak.
Our great saints
were often afflicted with illness.
not your body.
You realize that you are bound to
absolute obedience to the abbot?
It is our divine right
to decide our own fate.
Sister Barbara!
Sister Adelgard!
Sister Ursula!
