The 7 Orations of Santa Brigida
Through Saint Brigida, Jesus made wonderful promises to the souls who will recite these Orations for 12 years. In particular, Jesus promises:
The soul who recites them will not go to Purgatory.
The soul who recites them will be accepted among the martyrs as if it had shed its blood for faith.
The soul who recites them can choose three other people whom Jesus will keep in a state of grace sufficient to become holy.
None of the four generations following the soul that recites them will be damned.
The soul who recites them will be made aware of her own death a month earlier.
Some may think that it could happen to him to end his earthly life before the end of the 12 years of prayers.
In this case Jesus reassured, always through Santa Brigida, that he would consider them valid as if he had completed them.
If, however, you were to skip one or more days for some reason, you can retrieve the missing prayers later.
It is clear that those who undertake this commitment must not think that these prayers are the automatic pass for Heaven and therefore can continue to live according to their wishes.
We know that we must live with God in all coherence and sincerity not only when these prayers are recited, but throughout our lives. However, I am sure that if a person receives the grace to persevere for 12 years in this type of prayer, he surely already lives in good communion with Jesus and Mary and knows how to behave.
International Prizes
This devotion was recognized as a good, useful and recommendable thing by the Sacred College for the Propaganda of the Faith and by Pope Clement XII. Even Innocent III recognized the revelations of Saint Bridget of Sweden as authentic.
