St. Bridget of Sweden Coloring Page
One of Sweden's greatest patron saints was a lay woman who lived an extraordinary life of courage, selfless love, and tireless charity. The coloring page you are purchasing offers a beautiful glimpse into one of the many remarkable moments in her life. When she was only a child, St. Bridget of Sweden encountered Jesus in a powerful vision in which He emphasized his self-sacrificing love. St. Bridget meditated on the Passion of Christ throughout her life and also performed many great acts of selfless love, modeling her heart after Christ. She went on to love her family and her husband with profound feeling, and she continued to encounter Christ in visions that compelled her to correspond with great leaders on topics concerning the state of the Church in the 14th century.
During her life, St. Bridget's legacy reached as far as Rome, the religious order she founded, and in the hearts of her eight children- all of whom survived infancy. Today, she is recognised as the patron saint of Sweden and as "the Patroness of Failures." This unusual title reflects all the ambitious pursuits she failed to see to fruition. Hers is a life so beautiful to reflect on when we consider how often our seeming failures don't matter in the eyes of our Lord. After all, it was not the accumulation of her great successes for which Bridget was canonized, but for her devout faith.
I invite you to encounter a moment in St. Bridget's early life by purchasing and downloading this printable coloring page. Whether you are seeking relaxation, enrichment, or activity, this printable coloring page provides a directed and prayerful experience. Reflecting on images of the saints can draw us closer to Jesus; after all, intercession is a powerful form of prayer! By engaging in a simple but creative endeavor, you automatically steer your mind away from the “noise” of day-to-day stress and instead focus on the simple task at hand. In doing so, you leave room in your mind for prayer and reflection- not the chatty, rushed kind of prayer we are often wont to do, but the quiet kind in which we mindfully listen for what our Father in Heaven wants to say.
While I encourage you to print this activity set for your personal use as many times as you like, please do not distribute photocopies or digital downloads to friends or colleagues; instead, direct them to my shop so they can support my ongoing work!
