The Fifteen Prayers
Revealed by Our Lord to Saint Bridget of Sweden in the Church of St. Paul at Rome are published under sanction of the Decree of November 18, 1966, published in the Acta Apostolicae Sedis, Vol. 58, No. 16 of December 29, 1966.
Prayers approved by Pope Pius IX
Pope Pius IX took cognizance of these Prayers with the prologue; he approved them May 31, 1862, recognizing them as true and for the good of souls.
This sentence of Pope Pius IX has been confirmed by the realization of the promises by all persons who have recited the prayers and by numerous supernatural facts by which God wanted to make known their exact truth. A collection of small books, these prayers among them, was approved by the Great Congress of Malines on August 22, 1863.
Question— Must one recite the Prayers everyday without interruption to obtain the privileges?
Answer— One should miss saying them as few times as possible; but if for a serious reason one is obliged to miss them, one doesn’t lose the privileges attached to them, as long as one recited 5,480 Prayers during the year. One must say them with devotion and concentrate on the words one pronounces.
These prayers can serve as the Way of the Cross.
St. Bridget for a long time wanted to know the number of blows Our Lord received during His Passion, He one day appeared to her and said: “I received 5,480 blows on My Body. If you wish to honor them in some way, say 15 Our Fathers and 15 Hail Marys with the following Prayers (which He taught her) for a whole year. When the year is up, you will have honored each one of My Wounds.”
Our Lord made the following promises to anyone who recited the 15 St. Bridget Prayers for a whole year.
1.) I will deliver 15 of his lineage from Purgatory.
2.) Fifteen souls of his lineage will be confirmed and preserved in grace.
3.) Fifteen sinners of his lineage will be converted.
4.)Whoever recited these Prayers will attain the first degree of perfection.
5.) Fifteen days before his death I will give him My Precious Body in order that he may escape eternal starvation; I will give him My Precious Blood to drink lest he thirst eternally.
