 The
Story of St. Bridget
St. Bridget 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."
