Pause for Peace on Saint Brigit’s Day AND Rekindling the Flame is Out!

 The Sisters of Saint Brigid in Kildare are promoting a pause for peace on Saint Brigid's Day 2023, at mid-day, wherever in the world you are, with the hope of engendering a twenty-four hour pause in all. This will be on the day of their thirtieth anniversary of tending Brigit’s flame. More details later, I'm sure!

And speaking of books about Brigit! At long last, the sisters at Solas Bhríde are releasing an updated version of Sister Rita Minehan‘s book, Rekindling the Flame -  a Pilgrimage in the Footsteps of Brigid of Kildare.

From their newsletter:

Dear Friends, The news you've been waiting on...a revised edition of 'Rekindling the Flame' is about to be published and will be available from Solas Bhríde from mid-December. The original book written by Rita Minehan csb has been hugely popular with pilgrims as it offered them a reflective guide to accompany them on their pilgrim journey in Kildare, from St Brigid's Cathedral to St Brigid's Garden and Wayside Wells. Rita's updated edition includes a history of the developments that have occurred in Kildare Town since 1999, in particular the opening of Solas Bhríde Spirituality Centre & Hermitages on Tully Road. The revised edition will appeal to those coming on pilgrimage to Solas Bhríde and Kildare Town but also to the many who have visited and wish to reflect on that journey through the story, legend, poems and meditations the book presents. The book will be officially launched on February 26th 2023, but more on that anon!!
