The Revelations of Saint Bridget of Sweden: Books 11 and 12, Plus the 15 Magnificent Prayers of St Bridget

This book consists of The Revelations of Saint Bridget of Sweden, Book 11: "The Sermon of the Angel," on Salvation History from Adam and Eve to Christ, including much on the Blessed Virgin Mary; Book 12: "Four Prayers" which were divinely revealed to Saint Bridget; plus The 15 "Magnificent Prayers of Saint Bridget" to Our Suffering Lord Jesus Christ. The reader will find in it a fruitful source of prayer and meditation, as have so many people throughout the centuries since they were first revealed to the holy mystic and visionary. See also "The Revelations of St Bridget and Church Reform" and the edited "Revelations of Saint Bridget of Sweden: Books 1-5." St Bridget (or "Birgitta") of Sweden was born in June 1303 in the castle of Finsta near Uppsala in Sweden; her father Birgen Persson was the governor of the region of Upplan, her mother Ingeborga was also of noble lineage. Bridget married very early, had several children, and then in 1341, Bridget and her husband decided to celebrate their Silver Anniversary by going on a pilgrimage to Santiago of Compostella. This event marks a decisive turning point in the life of the two spouses, who for some time were already living their matrimony in chastity. During the return trip, Ulf, her husband, decided to embrace the religious life and was received into the Cistercian Abbey of Alvastra, where he died only a few years later. Bridget, having completed her mission as wife and mother, decided to transfer herself to an outbuilding to the monastery at Alvastra, where she remained for almost three years until 1346. It was the beginning of the most extraordinary phase of her life; after a period of austerity and of meditation on the Divine Mysteries of the Passion of the Lord and the Sorrows and Glories of the Virgin, she began to have visions of Christ, Who in one of these visions elects her "Messenger of the Great Lord." To her spiritual directors, such as Fr. Matthias, Bridget dictated her famous "Revelations," sublime intuitions and supernatural illuminations, which she had all her life and were then collected in eight volumes. Afterwards she went to Rome and here, under the dictation of an Angel, wrote "The Hymn of the Angel" or "Angelic Sermon." It deals with twenty-one Letters to be read every day of the week during the morning Masses in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Saint Bridget, during one Eucharistic celebration, has a revelation of the Angels in Eucharistic Adoration: "After the priest had pronounced the divine words over the bread, it seemed to me that that same bread took on three figures, although it remained in the hands of the priest. That Bread became a living Lamb, in the Lamb was seen the face of a man and on the inside and on the outside of the Lamb and of that face there was an ardent flame. As I was watching the face with attention, without averting my eyes, in it I saw the Lamb. And looking at the Lamb I also saw that same face in the Lamb. A Crowned Virgin was sitting with the Lamb and all the Angels were attending to her; the Lamb emanated a marvelous splendor. Also the multitude of holy souls was so numerous that my eyes could not contain it all, not in length, not in width, not in depth" (Book 8, 54). Later on, the Saint is a witness to a conversation between Jesus and the Virgin about the creation of the world and of all things visible and invisible. Among these the Angels, who at the moment of their creation, in complete liberty, were given the choice either to accept God and His love, or to refuse Him.

About the Author
Darrell Wright (translator and editor) received his Licentiate in Philosophy, magnum cum laude from the Angelicum University in Rome and is Co-founder of the Knights of the Holy Rosary. He taught in various Catholic schools, and spent several years studying for the priesthood, then a number of years as a contemplative monk, at the end of which he was encouraged to seek God's will elsewhere on account of his politically incorrect beliefs re- allowing homosexuals into seminaries and religious communities, the bogus "War on Terror" based on the 911 false flag black operation, being an admirer of Dr E Michael Jones and "Culture Wars" magazine, and, well....you get the idea. His other publications include "The Revelations of St Bridget and Church Reform"; "Faith and Reason in St Thomas Aquinas According to Etienne Gilson: An Introduction to Christian Philosophy"; "Titanic II: The Diary of Rose Dawson," a screenplay with a Catholic theme; "The Bad Kids Book of Poems: Cautionary Verse For Morals, Manners, and Not Being Stupid" (Illustrated); a survivalist/"doomsday prepper" book; as well as numerous Catholic Classics, especially by the saints, which he has translated, revised and/or edited, all available on Amazon (search "darrell wright"). He presently lives on a creek in the beautiful Gold Country in CA with his 91 year old mother and is hoping, God willing, to find a traditional Catholic soul mate who ideally is even a like-minded "conspiracy theorist," or at least can put up with one. "If you want to know who rules over you, just ask yourself whom you're not allowed to criticize." Darrell can be reached at darrell@knightsoftheholyrosary.com.
