Prayers of the Twelve Years of Saint Bridget: Meditations on the Passion of Christ - Paperback

When Saint Bridget of Sweden asked the Lord to reveal how many lashes He had received during His Passion, Jesus Christ revealed to her the astonishing number of 5,475, inspiring a special devotion: to recite each day for twelve years fifteen Our Fathers and fifteen Hail Marys accompanied by seven prayers that He Himself taught her. These "Prayers of the Twelve Years" were born to honor each of those wounds and to deepen, through persevering prayer, the redemptive mystery of the Passion.

In this book you will find original meditations inspired by those seven prayers, designed to accompany those who seek to grow in faith and unite themselves, through daily prayer, to the fervor and perseverance of Saint Bridget of Sweden - a model of love for Christ, of contemplation, and of intercession for the Church and the world.

Illustrated with traditional images of Saint Bridget, enriched with biblical quotations, space to write your intentions, and a complete novena in honor of the saint, this book is an invitation to deepen your prayer life, to trust in the powerful intercession of Saint Bridget, and to live the hope and comfort that she found in the Blessed Virgin Mary and in the mystery of the Passion.
