Revelations and Prophecies Imparted to St. Bridget
Book Five "The Book of Questions"
Revelation Two
The second revelation in the Book of Questions, in which the Virgin Mary speaks to
blessed Bridget and tells her that a person who wishes to taste divine sweetness
must first endure bitterness.
The Mother speaks: "Which of the saints had the sweetness of the Spirit
without first experiencing bitterness? Therefore, a person who longs for sweetness
should not run away from things that are bitter."
