The Magnificent Prayers of St. Bridget of Sweden

St. Bridget of Sweden shares that Jesus received 5,480 blows during His Passion. To honor these wounds, He taught a devotion of saying fifteen Our Father and fifteen Hail Mary prayers alongside special prayers for a year, promising graces to those who practice it. Saints like Gertrude, Mechtilde, Catherine of Siena, Francis de Sales, and Augustine emphasize the importance and spiritual benefits of meditating on Christ’s Passion. These prayers offer a meaningful way to engage daily with Our Lord’s suffering and deepen one’s faith.
