I sin allm\u00e4nna audiens 2010 lyfte p\u00e5ven Benedictus XVI fram Heliga Birgitta av Sverige, ett helgon fr\u00e5n 1300-talet, som ett kraftfullt exempel p\u00e5 kvinnlig helighet, en f\u00f6rebild f\u00f6r kristna familjer, och en person vars liv \u00e5terspeglade helighet i hennes hemliv och andliga djup. P\u00e5ven Benedictus XVI sade: \u201ddenna heliga kvinna har mycket att l\u00e4ra Kyrkan och v\u00e4rlden.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vi kan urskilja tv\u00e5 perioder i detta helgons liv. (gift och \u00e4nka) <\/p>\n
Den f\u00f6rsta k\u00e4nnetecknades av hennes lyckliga \u00e4ktenskap. Hennes man hette Ulf och var landsh\u00f6vding i ett viktigt distrikt i kungariket Sverige. \u00c4ktenskapet varade i 28 \u00e5r, fram till Ulfs d\u00f6d. \u00c5tta barn f\u00f6ddes, varav det andra, Karin (Katarina), v\u00f6rdas som ett helgon. Detta \u00e4r ett v\u00e4ltaligt tecken p\u00e5 Birgittas engagemang f\u00f6r sina barns uppfostran. Dessutom uppskattade kung Magnus av Sverige hennes pedagogiska visdom s\u00e5 mycket att han kallade henne till hovet under en tid, s\u00e5 att hon kunde introducera sin unga hustru, Blanka av Namur, till svensk kultur. Birgitta, som fick andlig v\u00e4gledning av en l\u00e4rd religi\u00f6s som introducerade henne till studiet av Skrifterna, ut\u00f6vade ett mycket positivt inflytande p\u00e5 sin familj som, tack vare hennes n\u00e4rvaro, blev en sann \u201dhuskyrka\u201d. Tillsammans med sin man antog hon franciskanterti\u00e4rernas regel. Hon ut\u00f6vade gener\u00f6st v\u00e4lg\u00f6renhetsverk f\u00f6r de fattiga; hon grundade ocks\u00e5 ett sjukhus. Vid sin hustrus sida f\u00f6rb\u00e4ttrades Ulfs karakt\u00e4r och han utvecklades i det kristna livet. Vid deras \u00e5terkomst fr\u00e5n en l\u00e5ng pilgrimsf\u00e4rd till Santiago de Compostela, som de gjorde 1341 med andra familjemedlemmar, utvecklade paret ett projekt att leva i avh\u00e5llsamhet; men en kort tid senare, i lugnet av ett kloster dit han hade dragit sig tillbaka, slutade Ulfs jordiska liv. Denna f\u00f6rsta period i Birgittas liv hj\u00e4lper oss att uppskatta vad vi idag skulle kunna beskriva som en autentisk \u201d\u00e4ktenskaplig spiritualitet\u201d: tillsammans kan kristna makar g\u00f6ra en resa av helighet, uppr\u00e4tth\u00e5llen av \u00e4ktenskapets sakraments n\u00e5d. Det \u00e4r ofta kvinnan, som h\u00e4nde i Heliga Birgittas och Ulfs liv, som med sin religi\u00f6sa k\u00e4nslighet, finess och mildhet lyckas \u00f6vertala sin man att f\u00f6lja en trons v\u00e4g. Jag t\u00e4nker med tacksamhet p\u00e5 de m\u00e5nga kvinnor som, dag efter dag, lyser upp sina familjer med sitt vittnesb\u00f6rd om kristet liv, \u00e4ven i v\u00e5r tid. M\u00e5 Herrens Ande fortfarande inspirera helighet hos kristna makar idag, f\u00f6r att visa v\u00e4rlden sk\u00f6nheten i ett \u00e4ktenskap som levs i enlighet med evangeliets v\u00e4rderingar: k\u00e4rlek, \u00f6mhet, \u00f6msesidig hj\u00e4lp, fruktsamhet i att f\u00f6da och uppfostra barn, \u00f6ppenhet och solidaritet med v\u00e4rlden och deltagande i kyrkans liv. <\/p>\n
