Revelations and Prophesies Imparted to St. Bridget of Sweden (5bridge6.htm) as featured on The DailyCatholic, a Traditional Catholic publication dedicated to perpetuating the One True Faith and preserving the Traditional Latin Mass in this time of the Great Apostasy by upholding the sedevacantist syllogism in order to Save All Necessary Catholic Traditions in the United States (SANCTUS) and preserve the Truths and Traditions of the Church founded by Jesus Christ upon the Rock of Peter.

First question. Again the monk appeared on his ladder as before saying: "O Judge, why should I seek the wisdom of God when I have the wisdom of the world?"

Second question. "Why should I mourn and weep when I have worldly joy and honor in plenty?"

Third question. "Tell me: why or in what way should I rejoice in the affliction of the flesh?"

Fourth question. "Why should I be afraid, when I have the strength of my own power?"

Fifth question. "Why should I obey others, if I have control over my own will?"

Answer to the first question. The Judge answered: "Friend, whoever is wise concerning the world is blind concerning me, his God. Therefore, in order to obtain my divine wisdom, one must seek it diligently and humbly."

Answer to the second question. "Whoever has worldly honors and joy is troubled by various cares and gets entangled in bitter situations that lead to hell. In order not to be turned aside from heaven's way, one must be piously solicitous and pray and weep."

Answer to the third question. "It is also very profitable to rejoice in the affliction and infirmity of the body, because my mercy comes to those who are afflicted in body, and by my mercy they approach eternal life more easily."

Answer to the fourth question. "Furthermore, whosoever is strong is strong because of me, and I am stronger than he. Therefore one must be ever fearful lest strength be taken away."

Answer to the fifth question. "Whosoever holds his free choice in his hands should be fearful and should realize in truth that nothing so easily leads to eternal punishment as self-will without a leader. Accordingly, anyone who relinquishes his or her own will to me, his God, in obedience to me, shall have heaven without punishment."
