History
When Saint Bridget, or Birgitta as she was called, was very young, she had a very clear
vision of Jesus that she remembered all her life. She got married and had eight
children. After her husband died, she understood that God was calling her to
organize a new religious order for women. Bridget started to do what God asked
her to do, but then she felt that she was called to Rome where she saw visions
regarding the Church. She died as an old woman who never saw any of her work
for Christ finished, but full of faith in Him. This is why she is called the
Patroness of Failures. However, she did write 15 wonderful prayers, which many
people still pray today.
Activity
Today, write your own prayer to God. Remember to
start with a sentence telling Him how much you love Him. Then, state a request.
Finish by thanking Him and saying, “Amen.”
