An inspiring story
Brigid's cloak
What if you asked for more than anyone thought possible?
Brigid asked the king of Leinster for land to build a monastery. He laughed and said she could have as much as her cloak would cover. She spread out her cloak, and four of her sisters each took a corner and walked: north, south, east and west. The cloak kept growing until it covered the whole plain of the Curragh. The amazed king kept his word. Why do the Irish still tell this story? Because Brigid trusted that God's generosity is bigger than a king's mockery.
Her monastery at Kildare became one of the great centres of Ireland, led by a woman. It started with a small cloak and a big prayer.
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find.Matthew 7:7
