Saint Bridget of Sweden Religious Patron of Europe

Words

Iam vos mundi estis propter sermonem..

Ev s. Ioann. 15,3

mundus, clean, neat, elegant

This reflection comes from the festal Liturgy of Saint Bridget of Sweden, The Vatican 7.30 this morning.

You are already elegant on account of the words..

Spiritual Heritage

Saint John Paul II described the spiritual heritage Old Europe has to offer, when he proclaimed Saint Bridget copatron of Europe (Quibus Sancta Birgitta de Suetia) October 1, 1999.

In some ways, Saint John Paul II, in his Motu Proprio, touches on the heart of the spirituality of Old Europe, and dissects it for display, just as Doctor Ivo Andrić paints a commerce of belief of the Ottoman Balkans in his The Bridge over the Drina.

Words. Stories. Thoughts. Quietness.

Iam vos mundi estis propter sermonem..

Ev s. Ioann. 15,3
