approved by Pope Pius IX
Magnificent Promises to
Saint Bridget of Sweden Pope Benedict XV expressed himself as follows on
the Revelations of St. Bridget:
"The approbation of such revelations implies nothing more than, after mature
examination, it is
permissible to publish them for the unit of the faithful. Though they don't
merit the same
credence as the truths of religion, one can, however, believe them out of human
faith, conforming
to the rules of prudence by which they are probable, and supported by sufficient
motives that one
might believe in them piously.
(Les Petits Bollandistes, tome XII)
The 14th of June 1303,
at the moment Bridget was born, Benedict, the curate of Rasbo, prayed for
the happy deliverance of Ingeborde. Suddenly he found himself enveloped by a
luminous cloud out of
which Our Lady appeared:
"A child has been born
at Birger; her voice will be heard by the entire world."
