February 1: Remembering Saint Bridig

Today many Christians remember Saint Bridig, c. 450-523. After you read a little bit about her, you may wish to pray something like this:

O God, whose blessed Son became poor that we through his poverty might be rich: Deliver us from an inordinate love of this world, that, following the example of thy servant Bridget, we may serve thee with singleness of heart, and attain to the riches of the world to come; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
