General Description:
This little book of excerpts from the Revelations of St. Bridget of Sweden is one of the spiritual classics of the Church. Herein are related most intimate details in the life of Our Lord and His Blessed Mother, including the early life of Our Lady, the birth and hidden life of Jesus at Nazareth, the most sorrowful Passion of Our Lord, and Our Lady's assumption into Heaven. Particularly poignant are the descriptions of the bitter Passion of Our Lord and of the Blessed Mother's unspeakable grief as she accompanied Him on His journey to Calvary and witnessed his cruel tortures. These moving accounts will give the reader an intense realization of the sword of sorrow, prophesied by Simeon, which pierced Our Lady's heart, and of her intimate cooperation with Our Lord in the work of our redemption. The Blessed Mother says that she and our Lord had, as it were, one heart.
The Revelations of St. Bridget offers much food for the mind and heart. Anyone who reads and meditates on the treasures contained in this little book will gain a depper love for Jesus and Mary and a renewed desire to avoid sin, the cause of their great and terrible sufferings for our salvation.
