Magnificent Prayers of St. Bridget: Eleventh 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."

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.

Eleventh Prayer

Our Father - Hail Mary

O Jesus! Deep abyss of mercy, I beg of Thee, in memory of Thy Wounds which penetrated to the very marrow of Thy Bones and to the depth of Thy being, to draw me, a miserable sinner, overwhelmed by my offenses, away from sin and to hide me from Thy Face justly irritated against me, hide me in Thy wounds, until Thy anger and just indignation shall have passed away. Amen.
