Magnificent Prayers of St. Bridget: Sixth Prayer

THIS IS ONE POST IN A SERIES.

Journey with me as I embrace a wonderful devotion based on Our Lord's Passion and Death - The Fifteen Prayers of St. Bridget of Sweden.

St. Bridget of Sweden desired for a long time to know the number of blows Our Lord received during His Passion. Jesus revealed to her:


"I received 5480 blows upon My Body. If you wish to honor them in some way, recite fifteen Our Fathers and fifteen Hail Marys with the following Prayers (which He then taught her) for an entire year. When the year is finished, you will have honored each of My Wounds."

To learn more about St. Bridget of Sweden, visit Catholic Culture.

Note: For many years these prayers were published with twenty-one promises given to St. Bridget. These promises offered wonderful graces and benefits to those who recited the prayers. In 1954, the Holy Office in Rome issued a Monitum prohibiting publication of the twenty-one promises. The Holy Office warned that the supernatural origin of the promises had not been proved in any way. For more information, read: Magnificent Prayers, Yes — Magnificent Promises, No.

Sixth Prayer

Our Father - Hail Mary

O Jesus! Beloved and most desirable King, remember the grief Thou didst suffer, when naked and like a common criminal, Thou was fastened and raised on the Cross, when all Thy relatives and friends abandoned Thee, except Thy Beloved Mother, who remained close to Thee during Thy agony and whom Thou didst entrust to Thy faithful disciple when Thou saidst to Mary: "Woman, behold thy son!" and to St. John: "Son, behold thy Mother!"
I beg of Thee O my Saviour, by the sword of sorrow which pierced the soul of Thy holy Mother, to have compassion on me in all my affliction and tribulations, both corporal and spiritual, and to assist me in all my trials, and especially at the hour of my death. Amen.
