Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Thomas Edward Bridgett: Priest of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, With Characteristics From His Writing The Life of Father Bridgett, as told in the following pages, requires no introduction in the ordinary sense of the word. It will be found to be the simple, straightforward history of a holy priest, a fervent and exact Religious, a zealous missionary, a faithful friend, and a prudent Director of souls. To Catholics, of course, both in England and Ireland, for nearly half-a-century the name of Father Bridgett has been familiar by reason of his Missions and Retreats, whilst many a Religious House and Convent has treasured memories of the Spiritual Exercises he had at one time or other of his ministry conducted for them. To others who are not Catholics he was also known as a writer, mainly, perhaps, in the later years of his life, by his biographies of Blessed John Fisher and Blessed Sir Thomas More, which commanded the attention of the reading public as sound pieces of historical work. The seventy years of Father Bridgett's pilgrimage on earth were mostly spent in the direct service of God.
