Revelations of St. Bridget

Revelations and Prophecies Imparted to St. Bridget


Book Four

Chapter One-Hundred-Three

          While at prayer, the bride of Christ saw in a vision how Blessed Denis prayed to the Virgin Mary for the kingdom of France.

    While I was at prayer, I saw how Blessed Denis addressed the Virgin Mary, saying: "You are the Queen of Mercy. All mercy is given to you. You became Mother of God for the sake of our salvation, we who are wretched sinners. Therefore, have mercy on the kingdom of France, your France and mine. It is yours, because its inhabitants honor you in their measure. It is mine, because I am their patron saint and they trust in me. You see how many souls are in danger in every hour, how men's bodies are being struck down like beasts and, what is worse, how many souls are falling like snowflakes down to hell. Comfort them, then, and pray for them, for you are the Lady and Helper of all" The Mother of God answered: "Appear before my Son, and let us hear - for the sake of this woman - what he will say in answer."
