Saint Brigid
Saint Brigid was born into a pagan family
She was Baptized by Saint Patrick whe she was a Christian slave
Saint Brigid made crosses from tall grass
She used the crosses to teach about Jesus
In today’s reading—-Matthew 5:1-12a
Today we hear about the Beatitudes
This is a powerful message about happiness and success
We hear that God will take care of us even in hard times
We should find comfort that God is in control and He loves us
