The Life of St. Bridget of Sweden
Bridget was a Swedish noblewoman who married Ulf Gudmarsson at thirteen and raised eight children, among them St. Catherine of Sweden. After her husband's death she gave herself fully to prayer.
She founded the Order of the Most Holy Savior, known as the Bridgettines, and moved to Rome, where she spent her last years praying, writing her revelations and caring for pilgrims. St. John Paul II named her a patron of Europe in 1999.
