The Fifteen Prayers of Saint Bridget

Revealed by Our Lord to be recited for 1 year, without interruption

As Bridget had long desired to know the number of blows our Lord had received during His Passion, one day He appeared to her and said:

"My daughter, I received 5,480 blows upon My Body. If you wish to honor them, you will say 15 Our Fathers and 15 Hail Marys with the following prayers for one year. When the year is completed, you will have honored each one of My wounds."

"Whoever recites these prayers for one year will receive these benefits:"

  1. He will deliver 15 souls of his lineage from Purgatory
  2. 15 righteous souls of his lineage will be confirmed and preserved in grace
  3. 15 sinners of his lineage will be converted
  4. The person who recites them will attain the first degree of perfection
  5. 15 days before death I will give him My precious Body, so that he may be freed from eternal hunger, and My precious Blood, so that he may never thirst eternally
  6. 15 days before death he will feel bitter sorrow for all his sins and will have a perfect knowledge of them
  7. I will place the sign of My victorious Cross before him to help and defend him against the attacks of his enemies
  8. Before his death I will come to him with My most beloved and dear Mother
  9. I will graciously receive his soul and lead it into eternal joys
  10. And having led it there, I will give it, with singular favor, to drink from the fountain of My Divinity; this I will not do for those who have not recited these prayers
  11. Know that whoever has lived for 30 years in mortal sin but devoutly recites, or truly intends to recite, these prayers, I will forgive all his sins
  12. I will defend him from temptations
  13. I will preserve his five senses
  14. I will keep him from a sudden death
  15. I will save his soul from eternal punishments
  16. He will obtain everything he asks of God and of the Blessed Virgin Mary
  17. If he has always lived according to his own will and should die tomorrow, his life will be prolonged
  18. Each time he recites these prayers he will gain a partial indulgence
  19. He will be certain of being joined to the choir of Angels
  20. Whoever teaches these prayers to another will have joy and merit without end, established on earth and lasting forever in heaven
  21. Where these prayers are or will be said, God is present with His grace

Every day for one year, recite 15 Our Fathers and 15 Hail Marys together with the following prayers. Each prayer is preceded by one Our Father and one Hail Mary.
