Friends of the Rosary,
Today, July 23, we honor—and ask for her prayer and intercession—St. Bridget (1302-1373) of Sweden, the Scandinavian mystic famous for her Revelations concerning the sufferings of our Redeemer.
St. Bridget received visions of Christ’s suffering many times throughout her life and, after her husband died and she bore eight children, Bridget founded the Order of the Most Holy Savior, also known as Bridgettines, erecting a double monastery for monks and nuns,
Following the guidance of the Holy Spirit, she later went to Rome, where she worked for the return of the Popes from Avignon.
Shortly before she died, the saint went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. At the shrines there, she had visions of what Jesus had said and done in each place.
When she was only ten, it is recorded that she had a vision of Jesus on the cross and heard him say, “Look at me, my daughter."
"Who has treated you like this?" cried little Bridget.
Jesus answered, "Those who despise me and refuse my love for them.”From that moment on, Bridget tried to stop people from offending Jesus.
All St. Bridget's revelations on the sufferings of Jesus were published after her death.
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
