Excerpt from Life of St. Brigid, Virgin, First Abbess of Kildare, Special Patroness of Kildare Diocese, and General Patroness of Ireland
The publication of a full and critical Life of Ireland''s Virgin Patroness had long been desired, by the clergy and laity of our country. While preparing the following Biography, as a leading feature in his Lives of the Irish Saints, the author was urged, by many devout clients of St. Brigid, to issue it in a separate form, to satisfy the wants and wishes of numerous kind friends. Not alone members of religious communities, under the special patronage of this holy virgin, and pastors or teachers, whose churches or educational institutions have been placed under her invocation, will be afforded a better opportunity, for becoming acquainted with her surpassing virtues and miracles, through this medium but, even the general public can learn such particulars of her Life, as may serve still more to extend the love and veneration, due to her memory and merits.
