So enjoying this! I’m still in the middle of the essay on St Bridget but am pausing to reflect here. As one of the women in the Art and Environment ministry at our church, for Lent i hung 2 Saint Bridget rush crosses over draped purple scarf length cloth on the church doors. In the entrance gathering area at the opening to the small chapel we placed a 4 foot cross and draped it with purple cloth in an encircling way spreading out at the bottom wi a small rush cross in the middle of the cross. Originally on the wall of this space there was a 2 foot metal statue of St Bridget and a welcoming plaque saying Saint Bridget Chapel. Now there is an icon of Saint Mark the Evangelist. The statue is cloistered in the chapel on a side wall. Out of sight, out of mind, but not out of heart.💚 This morning I was inspired here and searched for an icon of Saint Bridget, it will be delivered in 2 weeks. Thank you, Tina
One wonders what an evolutionary imagination might suggest what co-creation might look like. How would Teilhard de Chardin see those things we must confront,and with the help of the Divine Benevolence transform? Teilhard might say analyze yes, but utilize Here’s a peek into a vision of these questions. This essay exploring the lives of the saints is to my mind a contemporary masterpiece.
I'm always a little wary of attributing miraculous cures to saints, because while these are personal causes for thanksgiving, I wonder what they say to all those who beg God for such miracles for themselves or their loved ones - children dying of cancer, for example - and receive no such response. When I used to help in the baths at Lourdes, I learned so much from the women who went weeping into the ice cold water, praying not for miracles of physical healing but for compassion, love and courage in their sufferings.

Discovered St Winifred of Holywell. Cured a neck cancer - so credit her story. Big time!
