The Life of Saint Brigid: Abbess of Kildare

As the ministry of beloved Saint Patrick came to an end, another unlikely hero heard God's call and ran full force the Christian race, bringing Christ to Ireland. Young Brigid, an eager and charming girl, forsook her noble birth and followed the windy road Christ had called her to. From dairymaid, to shepherdess, to the Abbess of Kildare, Saint Brigid's story teaches us to be generous in spirit, to be tireless in our charity, and above all to seek God's calling for our own lives.
