Commentary: Father Anderson mentioned St. Bridget at Mass this morning, because she was Swedish & he is of Swedish descent. Quoth the bulletin:
Bridget married at a very young age. Her husband, Ulf Gudmarrson, was a Nobleman & the couple had eight children together, including Catherine, who later became known as Saint Catherine of Vadstena, Sweden. When Ulf died, she began the Order of the Most Holy Savior, or the "Bridgettines." Her monastery became a popular Swedish New Age Spirituality Center emphasizing the importance of sticking to your studies & pursuing high ideals.The last sentence is a head-scratcher.
