Deuteronomy 32:18 and Job 38:29-30 paired with St Hildegard's vision of the universe as a Cosmic Egg (and, let's be real here, Cosmic Yoni).

Saint Hildegard of Bingen

Doctor of the Church

1098 - 1179

Feast Day: September 17

St. Hildegarde was an amazing 12th-century German mystic, composer, abbess, poet, philosopher, teacher, and writer.  She wrote extensively on theology, science, and medicine, and she left a legacy of letters, poems, songs, visions and musical compositions.  She claims one of the largest repertoires of medieval composers.  Pope Benedict XVI declared her a "Doctor of the Church" in 2012, which makes her the fourth woman of the 36 saints with this special distinction.

do you have a favorite HIldegard von Bingen hymn? I only know O Euchari in leta via but I just adore it.

Yes! Both of these get at St. Hildegard’s approach of everything being interconnected and working towards care and unity through God, and the idea of the Holy Spirit as a comforter and healer for the wounded and self-punishing, core aspects of St. Hildegard’s work that I’m attached to.
