welve-year Devotion for the Souls in Purgatory by St. Bridget

The following prayers were given in a private revelation by Our Lord Jesus

Christ to St. Bridget of Sweden. They are to be prayed for 12 years. Our Lord

promised the following graces to all who will have this devotion:

1. The soul who will pray these prayers will suffer no purgatory.

2. The soul who will pray these prayers will be accepted among the Martyrs as

though he had spilled his blood for the Christian Faith.

3. The soul who prays them can choose three other souls whom Jesus will then

keep in a state of grace that is sufficient for them to become holy.

4. No one among the four successive generations of the souls who prays these

prayers will be lost.

5. The soul who prays these prayers will be made conscious of his death one

month in advance.

When the person who has committed himself to pray these prayers dies before

the 12 years are over, the Lord will accept the prayers as having been prayed

in their entirety. If a few days of prayers are missed due to a valid reason, they

can be made up for later.

This devotion was pronounced good, and was recommended by both the

Sacro Colegio de propaganda fide, as well as by Pope Clement XII. Pope

Innocent X, in turn, confirmed the revelations of the Lord to St. Bridget.

May these prayers bring glory to You

Because of Your painful Wounds,

Our Father and Hail Mary.

Eternal Father,

Through Marys unblemished hands

And through the Divine Heart of Jesus,

Committed by us and by all humanity,

And as protection of our relatives from mortal sins.

Eternal Father,



We offer you

As protection against committing again such sins,

And for the spread of

The Diving and brotherly love

Among all.

Eternal Father,



We offer You Your Son nailed

And hanging on the Cross,

His wounds on His hands and feet,

And the three streams of

His Precious Blood that poured forth

From these wounds for us,

His extreme tortures

Of the body and soul,

His precious death

And its unbloody remembrance

In all the Holy Masses,

As atonement for all the offenses

Committed against

the vows and rules of

Religious Life and the Priesthood;

As reparation for our personal sins

And the sins of the world;

As supplication

For the sick and the dying,

For the priests and the laity,

For the Holy Fathers intentions

Towards the restoration

Of Christian families,

For the strengthening of the Faith,

For our country, and

For unity among all nations

In Christ and in His Church,

And for the people of the Diaspora.

Eternal Father,

Accept as our worth offering

The Precious Blood and Water

That flowed from the wounds

Of the Divine Heart of Jesus

For the needs of the Holy Church,

And for the atonement

Of all the sins of humankind

Be gracious and merciful toward us.

May the Blood of Christ,

The last precious content

Of His Holy Heart,

Wash us and others

Of all the guilt of our sins.

May the Water


8/12

From the side of Christ

Wash us clean

Of all the punishments of our sins,

And may it extinguish

The flames of Purgatory

For us and

For all the Poor Holy Souls.

Amen.

During your fear of death

And embrace them

In Your arms in Heaven.

Prayer to the Three Archangels

To Saint Michael:

St. Michael the Archangel,

Defend us in these days of battle,

Be our safeguard

Against the wickedness

And snares of the devil,

May God rebuke him

We humbly pray,

And you, O prince of the Heavenly Host,

By the power of God,

Cast into hell Satan

And all the evil spirits

Who roam throughout the world

Seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

To Saint Gabriel:

Angel of Humanity,

Trusted Messenger of God,


12/12

Open our ears

For the quiet warnings and calls

Of the most Loving Heart of Jesus.

Always be in front of our eyes,

We beg you,

That we may understand

The Word of God correctly,

And that we may follow,

Obey, and fulfil that

Which God wants of us.

Assist us in staying awake

So that when the Lord

Comes to get us

He may not find us asleep.

To Saint Raphael:

Arrow of Love

And Doctor of Gods Love,

Wound our hearts with burning love,

We ask you,

And do not let the wound heal

So that we may stay

On the path of Gods Love everyday,

And so that we overcome everything

With love that comes from God.
