Saint Bridget of Sweden

Bridget was born to a rich and holy family.  They taught her about Jesus from the time that she was a baby.  When she was a little girl she began to have visions of Jesus, she had many visions of Jesus all throughout her life.  In these visions she saw how much Jesus suffered for us and because of this she tried to help people change their ways and not hurt Jesus through their sins.  She was married to a very holy man who was also a Prince.  They had eight children and one of them also became a Saint, St. Catherine of Sweden.  All throughout her life God appeared to St. Bridget and gave her special messages for very important people, Kings, Popes and priests.  St. Bridget always did what God asked her to do and tried to help other people follow God as well.  Near the end of her life St. Bridget visited the places Jesus lived and died and she saw many amazing visions about what Jesus said and did there.  All of the things Jesus showed her were written in a book after she died, and many people have come to know Jesus more deeply because of her.
