Yes, it's not for nothing that the 17th-century hagiologist Fr John Colgan named all three of Ireland's national patrons the trias thaumaturga - the three wonder workers. St Brigid's concern was always for anyone in trouble or need.Marcellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02234781374292930330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503689522096376739.post-9257831466717029202015-06-20T20:34:14.851+01:002015-06-20T20:34:14.851+01:00I was about to be made homeless this year, my husb...I was about to be made homeless this year, my husband and i were unemployed with 2 small children and no money. The future for us looked very bleak.<br /> I have often heard people say to me in the past they prayed to St Brigid and got housed. I had never prayed to her before so while searching the internet i found this page, i printed all the prayers, i gave one to my husband and starting on St Brigid's Day we both said the prayers . Not only did St Brigid answer our prayers the house itself we found was called St Brigid's.<br />Thank you for posting these prayers. I will never doubt again. We are so gratefulolivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172829315694371954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503689522096376739.post-68588148356924338582014-09-12T15:31:03.173+01:002014-09-12T15:31:03.173+01:00Those is us who are the descendents of the Grey Ge...Those is us who are the descendents of the Grey Geese of Ireland are enriched by the incredibly powerful prayers and holy meditations our ancestors used to increase their faith and trust in times of grief and trouble. Since we are all part of the Mystical Body, the Absolute Grace of God and the efficacy of prayers to His Saints is a blessing to us no matter when or where we live. Many times through the hectic years of raising two sons alone I turned to Our Lady and to St Bridget in prayer for guidance and comfort in my daily life. Never once in all this time have I ever felt my petitions are unheard. Thank you for posting these elegantly beautiful prayers for us to ponder and experience in our devotion to Ireland's Dear Saint, our Bridget. ~BostonRN~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503689522096376739.post-81406632414570266862011-08-13T19:02:00.692+01:002011-08-13T19:02:00.692+01:00I have only begun to study this great saint but it...I have only begun to study this great saint but it is already giving up a rich harvest of spiritual insight.Veronica Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12340070034885770230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503689522096376739.post-70921711237240554842011-02-16T22:32:36.598+00:002011-02-16T22:32:36.598+00:00What ever happened to the Anthonian Press?

There are lots of saints concerned with very other-worldly things but you can always rely on St. Brigid to be caring about the cows and the house not being struck my lightening. I don't doubt her deep spirituality and her prayerfulness and her sound doctrine but she was a very human and practical saint.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503689522096376739.post-85114413948636668422011-02-13T12:34:07.291+00:002011-02-13T12:34:07.291+00:00No pun taken, you are absolutely right. My concern...No pun taken, you are absolutely right. My concern is that the modern prayers to St Brigid see her merely as someone who champions contemporary concerns about the environment etc. To me these older prayers present a different view of our national patroness precisely because the goddess, the social worker and the eco-warrior aren't in the picture. The older writers like Alice Curtayne always presented Saint Brigid as someone practical who understood the ordinary person.Brigithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10500169174019662556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503689522096376739.post-8646878013333704472011-02-10T22:20:26.727+00:002011-02-10T22:20:26.727+00:00St. Brigid is a very practical saint as are the Ir...St. Brigid is a very practical saint as are the Irish women saints in general.

I'm so glad that you're helping to bring them back to us. It's a pity that so few would buy them because I'd love to see them republished.

I have no qualms about copying it and adding it to my own collection of prayers (despite being a born-and-bred Yank!).<br /><br />Faithfully in Christ Jesus,<br />TonyAnthony S.
