St. Bridget of Sweden, Widow (8 October) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

On October 8th, the Church commemorates Saint Bridget of Sweden, a widow, mystic, and prophetess whose revelations shook Europe during one of its darkest centuries. Born in 1303, Bridget witnessed the turmoil of the Avignon Papacy, the corruption of clerics, the Hundred Years’ War, and the devastation of the Black Death. From her childhood visions of Christ’s Passion to her mission of reform in Rome, Saint Bridget carried God’s messages to kings, queens, and even Popes. She warned rulers of their pride, called for peace, and urged the papacy’s return to Rome.
