  • The promises of St. Bridget are private revelation. Catholics are free to believe in them or not. All intercessory prayer asked of Christ's friends, the saints, are efficacious. St. Bridget is with Christ. Catholics know this from the infallible Magisterium of the Church. The Church has ruled that public prayer to her for her assistance is permitted. So, to answer your question, prayer offered to St. Bridget is legitimate prayer. The following is attributed to St. Augustine: "Work as everything depends on you, pray as if everything depends on God." From this, you should be able to determine if it is a good idea to offer another year of prayer for your very fortunate family member.
