I am trying to learn more about our saints so I can identify with them better. I do not want to see them merely as historical people who lived the faith well, but I want to be a part of their friendship.
Please share your personal devotions to these saints in our daily calendar.
Bridget was married around age 13 and bore eight children. After her husband died, she joined the Third Order Franciscans and still wanted a deeper devotion to her faith. When she moved to Rome from Sweden, she founded the Bridgettine Order for both men and women. It was an austere practice. She became co-patronness of Europe along with Catherine of Siena and Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. Of course, he is the patron of Sweden.
John Predmore, S.J., is a USA East Province Jesuit and was the pastor of Jordan's English language parish. He teaches art and directs BC High's adult spiritual formation programs. Formerly a retreat director in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Ignatian Spirituality is given through guided meditations, weekend-, 8-day, and 30-day Retreats based on The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Ignatian Spirituality serves the contemporary world as people strive to develop a friendship with God.
