Brigid 

We spent the day with St. Brigid in Kildare. We rekindled the fire of hope, love, and justice at the place of Brigid’s fire. And we took our woundedness and sorrow to Brigid’s well, where we moved among others who were seeking healing.

I am under the shielding
of good Brigit each day;

I am under the shielding
of good Brigit each night.

I am under the keeping
Of the nurse of Mary,
Each early and late,
Every dark, every light.

Brigit is my comrade-woman,
Brigit is my maker of song,
Brigit is my helping-woman,
My choicest of women
my guide.
-Carmina Gadelica

It was an honor to be in these places with these places of Brigid. It was an honor to be able to lead worship in these holy places.
