Until I read somewhere else today, I never heard of Blessed Jutta of Disibodenberg (c. 1084-1136), a German noble woman, an anchoress, and the teacher of children, especially Saint Hildegaard of Bingen.<\/p>\n
Blessed Jutta’s history says that taught\u00a0female students\u00a0from wealthy families at her hermitage. She taught and raised them all, most notably the child Hildegard of Bingen.<\/p>\n
Jutta was known for her sanctity and her life of extraordinary penance; Justta was\u00a0known as a healer.<\/p>\n
On the Day of All Saints, November 1, 1112, Hildegard was given over as a Benedictine oblate into the care of Jutta. It was Jutta who taught Hildegard to write; to read the psalms used in the Liturgy; \u00a0to chant the recitation of the Canonical hours. She probably also taught Hildegard to play the zither-like string instrument called the psaltery.<\/p>\n
Saint Hildegaard of Bingen, succeeded Jutta as abbess; Benedict XVI named Hildegard a Doctor of the Church and we would make the claim that she owes her fundamental knowledge of life to Blessed Jutta. Let us pray for those who were our first teachers of life and faith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
