The present work aims to illuminate the life of St. Hildegard of Bingen, canonized and proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 2012. This Benedictine nun was in mid twelfth century, writer, composer, doctor, abbess, mystic and prophet. Benedict XVI, on the Apostolic Letter in which proclaims Hildegard doctor of the Church says: "(...) the attribution of the title of Doctor of the Universal Church to Hildegard of Bingen has great significance for today s world and an extraordinary importance for women." In this sense, besides proposing the knowledge of this extraordinary woman, who is still little studied in Brazil, we attempt to deepen in which sense her life and work can offer contributions to the reflections and challenges of the Church and the world at the present times. For this purpose, we will use bibliographic research, anchoring us in the rich material left by Hildegard and also by many researchers who have studied her with great interest in many countries. In the first chapter, we intend to make a historical and social analysis of the surrounding environment of Hildegard. Secondly, we follow through the activities and interests of the nun, seeing her by various prisms: prophecy, leadership, arts, sciences, and the ramifications of them in each one of the many occupations that she developed. Finally, we will give an especial attention to the metaphors and concepts that she used about the Trinity and the Holy Spirit, aiming to approach her concept of Viriditas or Greenness, which designates the creative and productive power of God, and used by her in a poetic and original way.
