The name of my saint is St. Bridget of Sweden. I chose this saint because in the 7th grade, I had picked her for a project and I have been fascinated since. She is an amazing saint because at age 7, she had visions of Jesus Christ being crucified.

St. Bridget was born in 1303 in Uppland, Sweden. She immediately knew her calling from Christ by having visions at age 7 when he was being crucified. At age 13, she got married to 18 year old, Ulf Gudmarsson. She later became a mother of 8, one is St. Catherine of Sweden. In 1344, Ulf passed away and she had decided to become a member of the Third Order of St. Francis. When she worked in the Third Order of St.Francis, she devoted her life to the poor and the sick. After a while working with the religious group, she decided to make her own called the Order of the Most Holy Saviour or the Bridgittines.

The marks of the Church my saint demonstrated in her life are holy and one. St.Bridget demonstrates holy by always keeping her faith in God and not giving up in her faith even though people had doubted her and didn't believe her. St.Bridget demonstrates one because she is had beliefs in God that he was always there because of her visions when she was little.

What we can learn from this saint is two very important things. One is to never give up on your faith in God and two is to always believe what you want to believe in. No matter what people say, just keep God and your faith close.
