Good Golly Miss Molly Saint Brigid!

I'm married to the daughter of a brewer, we're both of Irish descent, and I just score a commitment for beer from Skippy-san and Lex... and I missed this?

Today is the Feast Day of Saint Brigid!

Blessed woman of this quote:

"I would like the angels of Heaven to be among us. I would like an abundance of peace. I would like full vessels of charity. I would like rich treasures of mercy. I would like cheerfulness to preside over all. I would like Jesus to be present. I would like the three Marys of illustrious renown to be with us. I would like the friends of Heaven to be gathered around us from all
parts. I would like myself to be a rent payer to the Lord; that I should suffer distress, that he would bestow a good blessing upon me. I would like a great lake of beer for the King of Kings. I would like to be watching Heaven's family drinking it through all eternity."

-Saint Brigid of Ireland.

Heh. What she said.

Of course, Syrup-Swilling Hoser Alan who has a beer blog for heaven's sake, missed it too.

Update: Jim adds:

Back to the Saint -- one her miracles:
None was more miraculous than this: when a group of clergy paid a visit, she realized she had nothing worthy to serve them; Brigid's tub of bathwater, so it is said, turned into the finest beer, and a cheerful feast was enjoyed by all. Also note: Brigid is the saint of students. Coincidence?

In a sense. It was Bud Light.

So as to render pious cult to Sanctissima Brigida, I shall crack open a Molson tonight. (Besides, it should also make Alan proud)

Of course, it goes without saying, that I am partaking of Saint Brigid's speciality at this very moment.

My number one saint? Dymphna! Number two, why that would be Thomas (sorry, I gotta see the holes). Third, Barbara, because. Just because. Fourth, that would be Francis, for the kitties. And last but not least, Jude, of hopeless causes.
