Today is Lá Fheile Bhríde, St. Brigid's Day! It is a solemn feastday here in Ireland as we commemorate the great Brigid of Kildare, Abbess, eldress, healer, wonderworker and patron of Ireland. Traditionally today was seen as the first day of Spring here in Ireland and the work of the year ahead both on the land and in the home was placed under the patronage of St. Brigid...
Litanies both old and new are wonderful ways of meditating on the life and witness of the saints may this litany bless you and yours this St. Brigid's day.
Brigid of
the hearth and the hare
Brigid of
the spark and the flame
Brigid of
the cloak and the veil
Brigid of
the herb and the stars
Brigid of
the byre and the kine
Brigid of the
ill and the old
Brigid of
the young and the wild
Brigid of
the poor and the voiceless
Brigid of
the oak and the staff
Brigid of
the long nights watching
Brigid of
the sun’s slow dawning
Brigid of
the moon’s spring rising
Brigid of
the first bloom’s flowering
Brigid of
the well’s gentle healing
Brigid of
the Earth’s old wisdom
Brigid of
the Nun’s deep chanting
Brigid of
the High King of Heaven
Brigid of
the rush woven cross
Brigid of
the shaven head
Brigid of
the lost sword
Brigid of
the royal house
Brigid
Abbess of the duel house of prayer
Brigid
Eldress of the sanctuary’s light
Brigid Wise
Woman of the healing touch
Brigid
saint of Ireland
Pray for us
