Perhaps the greatest prophet[2] (a person chosen by God to communicate a salvific message to other people) in the history of the Church was Bridgett of Sweden. Her prophetic messages spread all over Europe and became such a controversial issue that the Council of Basel (1431-1439) appointed a commission to examine them.
Brigid’s mystical experiences began at 11 yrs, married, mother of 8 children, widowed at 40 years. After her husband’s death, she divided her possessions amongst her children and the poor went to live in a small house near a monastery.
Canonized 3 times to remove all doubt. Within canonization of the third time with Pope Martin V under the influence of the prophetic spirit was explicitly used.[3]
Devotion to Our Lady’s Sorrows has existed since the early centuries of the Church. It came into particular focus in the 13th century when Our Lady appeared to the Seven Founders of the Servite Order, giving them a black garment as their habit and asking them to meditate on her Sorrows.
In the 14th century, Our Lady revealed to St. Bridget of Sweden seven special graces that she would grant to those devoted to her Sorrows. She spoke at length to St. Bridget about the Passion of her Son and her own Sorrows, and made these promises to those who would say seven Hail Marys daily while meditating on her tears and sufferings:[4]
Introductory PrayerMy God, I offer You this rosary for Your glory, so I may honor Your Holy Mother, the Blessed Virgin, so I can share and meditate upon her suffering. I humbly beg You to give me true repentance for all my sins. Give me wisdom and humility so that I may receive all the indulgences contained in this prayer.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell; but most of all because they offend You, my God, You Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
