On February 1^st we celebrate the Feast of St. Brigid one of the patron saints of Ireland.  Brigid was born in County Louth and was abbess of a monastery that included men and women.  She pointed the way to a more inclusive church that honours the equality of man and women and that has much to say to us today. Brigids Feast on the first day of spring points to new life, new hope.  Brigids fame as a peacemaker has much to teach our modern world.  During her life there where many quarrels and wars between rival clans she often acted as a mediator. There is a legend that says that she reached out to the poor at one stage giving her fathers sword to a poor family who needed food so that they could sell it.  She lived her life close to the land, milking cows, churning milk or making butter.  Her respect for creation has much to teach us today.
