Saint Bridget was a descendant of the Kings of Sweden. She was married to the Prince of Mercia, and brought up her eight children in a Holy Way; one of them was Saint Catherine of Sweden. She led her husband to such a virtuous life that he renounced the World to submit himself to The Cistercian Rule, in the Monastery of Alvastra, Sweden; he died there in the odour of Sanctity (1344), and is known as Blessed Ulpho.

Bridget became still more fervent in her Holy Widowhood “devoting herself to all manner of good works and persevering day and night in Prayer” (Epistle). Like a man who has discovered a treasure and who sells all he possesses to acquire it (Gospel), she divided her riches among her children, and, detached from everything, she sought only The Kingdom of Heaven.

Filled with The Fear of God, she subjected her body to the severest Penance (Introit), and Jesus, Whom she thus imitated in His Passion, rewarded her by revealing Heavenly Secrets to her (Collect). He gave her the Constitution of The Order which she Founded under the Rule of Saint Augustine. She died in Rome in 1373.
