Quote of the Day – 1 February – the Memorial of St Brigid of Ireland (c 453-523)

I would like the angels of Heaven to be among us.
I would like an abundance of peace.
I would like full vessels of charity.
I would like rich treasures of mercy.
I would like cheerfulness to preside over all.
I would like Jesus to be present.
I would like the three Marys of illustrious renown to be with us.
I would like the friends of Heaven, to be gathered around us, from all parts.
I would like myself to be a rent-payer to the Lord,
that I should suffer distress, that He would bestow a good blessing upon me.
I would like a great lake of beer for the King of Kings.
I would like to be watching Heaven’s family drinking it through all eternity.

Saint Brigid
