St. Bridget of Sweden Comments
Saint Birgitta was the daughter of Uppland’s Lagman, Birger Petersson and his wife, Ingeborg, who was a member of the same clan as the reigning family. Birgitta’s family was pious; her father went to confession every Friday and made long and arduous pilgrimages as far away as the Holy Land. Birgitta’s mother died, leaving Birgitta, ten years old, Katharine, nine and a newborn baby boy, Israel. The children were sent to their maternal aunt for ... Continue Reading

If Birgitta left Sweden in 1349, she can't possibly be the great-grandmother of anyone living in this day and age, for Heaven Sake! What an untruth! I'm sure she never existed. So many of the saints are made-up characters used merely to keep Catholics in line or frightened while they molested children. Fakery and fraud reigns in the church.
My daughter is doing a report on St. Bridget, however I was not aware there was one of Sweden, I thought it was of Ireland. Can someone help me so I don't confuse them and make sure she has the correct information for her report. Thank you
While I struggled with my daily pieta prayers in 1992, I was favored by a life saving miracle. After mass on a late afternoon in November, I darted across the street when the lights turned and a car swirved into a left hand lane. All I remember was standing directly behind the two people inside the car who were busy talking to each other and failed to see me. Next, I was lifted up encased in a neon blue purple bubble feeling very smug and safe. It seemed as if I were mocking a world that could never hurt me physically. When I came to, I was taken aback by the sounds of the shock and awe from the crowd of people witnessing what just happened. I was also standing on the sidewalk as if I'd never crossed the street. And an elderly and eccentric gentleman, known for never speaking with anyone, was shouting at me, and I remembered how wide open his mouth was. I felt somewhat guilty for putting the people through such a fright and after walking for a few blocks my legs gave way as I felt a faint coming on and I soon found a place to sit down. November is always depressing to me especially as I live in the Pacific NW. Earlier while on my way to Mass, I prayed that God would take me that night as I didn't feel I had much to live for. I went to Confession, received Holy Communion but did not wait for the final blessings at the end of the Mass. Though I felt depressed earlier that evening, I was then energized and hoped to join my favorite aerobics dance class starting soon. As soon as I stepped outside of the Cathedral a loud interior voice began to mock me saying: You can't die. You haven't said your Penance yet.
My life was spared I believe because of the Pieta Prayers which I did complete within a year.
Hello , my name is Rudyanto. Due to the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and Blessed Mother Mary , I have finished translating two books on revelation and prophecies of St Bridgitta, Sweden. As I was doing the translation from English to Indonesian, I was filled with awe and felt thrilled at what our Lord Jesus Christ and Mother Mary said in the revelation. As it was conveyed in the revelation that we should distribute and transmit it to as many people as possible, then I contacted local publisher Kanisius at Jogjakarta , Indonesia. I felt sad because the publisher said it was not profitable for the publisher and they are afraid there will be only few readers and they need donations for subsidizing the publication. Brothers and sisters pls kindly pray that Our Lord Jesus Christ , Mother Mary and Saint Birgitta touch the people in charge of the publication. thanks . Love , Rudyanto , translator in Bali . http://balitourismdevelopment.blogspot.com

When I was growing up in the 80s I heard the Feast of St. Bridget used to be celebrated on October 8. Infact that is why my parents picked her name for me as that is the date on which I was born. However, later the feast turned out to be on July 23. How did this happen? Why is this information missing from her story, if at all it is ture? I really love this Saint and consider her my personal friend and confidant.
I like this saint because here feastday is on my birthday and i like the name
