The Life of St. Brigid of Kildare
Brigid was born at Faughart in County
Down in 452, less than fifty years after the beginning of Saint
Patrick's widespread missionary efforts among the Irish. At the time
of her birth, the faith was just starting to grow great in the
hearts of the Irish people. But by the end of her life, and partly
through her efforts, her land would become holy Ireland, a land of
saints and scholars, a land of monasteries from which missionaries
would go forth to all of Europe and beyond.
She is considered, equally with St Patrick (March 17),
patroness of Ireland. She was uncommonly beautiful, and her father
planned to marry her to the King of Ulster. But at the age of
sixteen she asked her Lord Jesus Christ to make her unattractive, so
that no one would marry her and she could devote herself to Him
alone. Soon she lost an eye and was allowed to enter a monastery. On
the day that she took monastic vows, she was miraculously healed and
her original beauty restored.
Even as a child, she was known for her compassion for the
poor. She would give away food, clothing, and even her father’s
possessions to the poor. One day her father took Brigid to the
king’s court, leaving her outside to wait for him. He asked the king
to buy his daughter from him, since her excessive generosity made
her too expensive for him to keep. The king asked to see the girl,
so Dubthach led him outside. They were just in time to see her give
away her father’s sword to a beggar. This sword had been presented
to Dubthach by the king, who said, I cannot buy a girl who holds us
so cheap.
St Brigid received monastic tonsure at the hands of St Mael
of Ardagh (February 6). Near Dublin she built herself a cell
under an oak tree, which was called Kill-dara, or Cell of the Oak.
Soon seven other young women joined her and established the
monastery of Kill-dara, which in time became the cathedral city of
Kildare. This was the beginning of women’s cenobitic monasticism in
Ireland. The monastery grew rapidly and became a double monastery
with both men's and women's settlements, with the Abbess ranking
above the Abbot; from it several other monasteries were planted
throughout Ireland. (Combined men's and women's monastic communities
are virtually unknown in the east, but were common in the golden age
of the Irish Church). The Saint predicted the day of
her death and fell asleep in peace in 524.
Message from Rev. Terrence P.
McGillicuddy, Ph.D.

Dear seekers of Christ. One of the most beautiful and
meaningful times of our lives is when we start something new in the
Lord. For me, it is the beginning of a new mission parish ---St.
Brigid of Kildare Anglican Mission in Medway, Massachusetts. In the
spirit of Celtic spirituality, St. Brigid’s is a community of
belonging. When you come to visit, you will belong to a church
community of genuine authenticity, a place where you will experience
God’s love and presence in a deep and life changing way.
Secondly, St. Brigid is a place of anam cara (soul
friendship). We are not meant to travel through this life alone but
together with one another as we carry each others burdens in our
love and commitment to each other.
Third St. Brigid’s is a thin place, a place where the veil
between heaven and earth come together; where the Kingdom of God is
breaking into our lives. In our worship, prayer and liturgy we
experience Christ in the most intimate and profound way.
It
is my prayer that in the days ahead we can find you; that Christ
will lead us to you so that we can reach out in hospitality and with
His message of love and salvation to invite and welcome you into our
community. May the peace and grace of our Lord Jesus be with you
always.
