This woman saint from the fifth century is the patroness of the following: babies, blacksmiths, boatmen, cattle, chicken farmers, children whose parents are not married, dairymaids, dairy workers, fugitives, infants, Ireland, Leinster, Ireland, mariners, midwives, milk maids, newborn babies, nuns, poets, poultry farmers, poultry raisers, printing presses, sailors, scholars, travellers, watermen, Here is a quote from her: I would like a great lake of beer for the King of Kings.

Confessionator741 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 St. Bridged of Ireland? she would have arrived in Ireland a few years after St. Patrick. Her father was an Irish lord named Duptace. As Bridget grew up, she became holier and more pious each day. She loved the poor and would often bring food and clothing to them. One day she gave away a whole pail of milk, and then began to worry about what her mother would say. She prayed to the Lord to make up for what she had given away. When she got home, her pail was full! Bridget was a very pretty young girl, and her father thought that it was time for her to marry. She, however, had given herself entirely to God when she was very small, and she would not think of marrying anyone. When she learned that her beauty was the reason for the attentions of so many young men, she prayed fervently to God to take it from her. She wanted to belong to Him alone. God granted her prayer. Seeing that his daughter was no longer pretty, her father gladly agreed when Bridget asked to become a Nun. She became the first Religious in Ireland and founded a convent so that other young girls might become Nuns. When she consecrated herself to God, a miracle happened. She became very beautiful again! Bridget made people think of the Blessed Mother because she was so pure and sweet, so lovely and gentle. They called her the "Mary of the Irish." http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=214 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confessionator741 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Her baptismal name was Alexandrina, but she took the name of Catherine upon entering religion her father placed her in the convent While very young, she was chosen Mistress of Novices, then subprioress, and at twenty-five years of age she became perpetual prioress. The reputation of her sanctity drew to her side many illustrious personages, among whom three later sat in the chair of Peter, namely Cerveni, Alexander de Medicis, and Aldo Brandini, and afterward Marcellus II, Clement VIII, and Leo XI respectively. She corresponded with St. Philip Neri and, while still living, she appeared to him in Rome in a miraculous manner.She is famous for the "Ecstacy of the Passion" which she experienced every Thursday from noon until Friday at 4:00 p.m. for twelve years.

Laudate_Dominum Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Entered Carmel at age 18. Died young.. [b]JP2 said of her: [/b] [i]"her radiant example proclaims to the whole world the beauty and happiness that come from a pure heart. She was a daughter of light.”[/i] [i]To a secularized society which lives with its back turned to God, I have the joy to present, as a model of the everlasting youth of the Gospel, this [edit] Carmelite. She brings to men of today the limpid witness of a life which proclaims that it is in the love, adoration and service of God that grandeur and joy, freedom and the full realization of the human creature are found. The life of [this saint] cries out softly from the cloister: God alone suffices![/i] [i]God made the light of His Son Jesus Christ shine in her in a wonderful fashion, so that she might be a beacon and a guide for a blind world which is incapable of discerning divine splendor To youths who are continually being attracted by the messages and suggestions of an erotic culture, to a society which confuses authentic love which is the gift of self, with the hedonistic use (for one's own pleasure) of others, this young virgin ... proclaims the beauty and the happiness which flows from pure hearts.[/i] [i]In her home, she learned to love God above all things, and feeling that she belonged entirely to her Creator, her love for neighbor became even more intense and lasting. That is what she explains in one of her letters: `When I love, it's forever. A Carmelite never forgets. From her small cell, she accompanies the souls she has loved in the world' [/i] [b]Her own words:[/b] [i]Sometimes I felt such great love it seemed I could not go on living if these desires continued any longer…Once when the violence of love took hold of me, I grasped a needle and on my chest drew these letters: J.A.M., which means Jesus My Love.[/i] [i]There will never be any separation between our souls. I will live in Him. Search for Jesus and in Him you'll find me; and there the three of us will continue our intimate conversations, the ones we'll be carrying on there forever in eternity.[/i] [i]The goal she (a Carmelite) proposes to herself is very great: to pray and sanctify herself for sinners and priests. To sanctify herself for sinners and priests. To sanctify herself so that the divine sap may be communicated through the union that exists between the faithful and all members of the Church. She immolates herself on the cross, and her blood falls on sinners, pleading for mercy and repentance, for on the cross she is intimately united to Jesus Christ. Her blood, then, is mixed with His Divine Blood.[/i] [i]Each day I long to go to Carmel to be occupied with Jesus alone, to be merged into Him and no longer live but on His life: to love and suffer to save souls. Yes, I thirst for souls because I know that is what my Jesus loves most. I must offer to my Fiancé the blood He has shed for each of them[/i] [i]The life of a Carmelite is suffering, love and prayer, and such is my ideal. My Reverend Mother, my Jesus has taught me these three things ever since my childhood.[/i] [i]We are co-redeemers of the world, and the redemption of souls is not accomplished without the cross.[/i] [i]I am not surprised, my Reverend Father, because I have asked Christ to deprive me of all consolation, so that other souls whom I love may find peace and joy in the sacraments and prayer.[/i] [i]A Carmelite is a sister to priests. Both priest and sister offer a host of holocaust for the salvation of the world. A Sister sanctifies herself, that by being more united to God, the blood of the Divine Prisoner which she receives in her soul might circulate through the other members of Christ's Body. In a word, a Sister sanctifies herself to sanctify her brothers.[/i] [i]Let's live intimately united with Him, since one who loves tends to be united with the one loved. The fusing of two souls is done through love.[/i] [i]It's true, my dear little sister, we don't live together; but you live in God and I do, too. There, in that abyss of love, we'll live as one. Everything in God is indivisible; we, too, will be inseparable.[/i] [i]When we're there in His presence, if just gazing at Him is enough to make us love Him, and if we are so captivated by His beauty that we can't say anything but that we love Him, why, little sister, should we be upset?[/i] [i]How I would have loved, mother dear, to be by your side to console and weep with you. But our souls met by the tabernacle.[/i] [i]The soul which is locked in chains by the demands of the body, by those of the social milieu in which it lives, is exiled and aspires ardently to contemplate unceasingly the infinite horizon which broadens as it is gazed upon, without ever meeting with any limits in God. Dear [her brother], you cannot understand this now, but I will pray so that God will show Himself to your soul some day, just as, in His infinite Goodness, He manifests Himself to mine Above all, reflect that life is so short; you already know that this life is not life.[/i] [img]http://www.vatican.va/news_services/liturgy/saints/img/19930321_teresa_de_jesus.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
