The 15 Prayers of Saint Bridget
First Prayer
Our Father – Hail Mary
O Jesus Christ! Eternal Sweetness to those who love Thee, joy surpassing all joy and all desire, salvation and hope of all sinners, Who hast proved that Thou hast no greater desire than to be among men, even assuming human nature at the fullness of time for the love of men! Recall all the suffering Thu hast endured from the instant of Thy conception, and especially during Thy Passion, as it was decreed and ordained from all eternity in the Divine Plan.
Remember, O Lord that during the Last Super with Thy disciples, having washed their feet, Thou gavest them Thy Most Precious Body and Blood, and while at the same time Thou didst sweetly console them, Thou didst foretell of Thy coming Passion. Remember the sadness and bitterness which thou didst experience in Thy Soul as Thou Thyself bore witness saying: “My Soul is sorrowful, even on to death.”
Remember all the fear, anguish and pain that Thou didst suffer in Thy delicate Body before the torment of the Crucifixion when, after having prayed three times, bathed in the a sweat of blood, Thou was betrayed by Judas, Thy disciple, arrested by the people of a nation Thou hadst chosen and evaluated, accused by false witness, unjustly judged by three judges during the flower if Thy youth and during the solemn Paschal season.
Remember that Thou wast despoiled of Thy garments and clothed in those of derision: that Thy Face and Eyes were veiled: that Thou was buffeted, crowned with thorns, a reed placed in Thy Hands; that Thou was crushed with blows and overwhelmed with affronts and outrages.
In memory of all these pains and sufferings which Thou didst endure before Thy Passion on the Cross, grant me before my death true contrition, a sincere and entire confession, worth satisfaction and the remission of all my sins. Amen
The Second Prayer
Our Father – Hail Mary
O Jesus! True liberty of angels, Paradise of delights! Remember the horror and sadness which Thou didst endure when Thy enemies, like furious lions, surrounded Thee, and by thousands of insults, spits, blows, lacerations and other unheard-of-cruelties, torment Thee at will.
In consideration of these torments and insulting words, I beseech Thee, O my Savior, to deliver me from all my enemies, visible and invisible, and bring me, under Thy protection, to the perfection of eternal salvation. Amen
Third Prayer
Our Father – Hail Mary
O Jesus! Creator of heaven and earth Whom nothing can encompass or limit, Thou Who dost enfold and hold all under Thy Loving power! Remember the very bitter pain Thu didst suffer when the Jews nailed Thy Sacred Hands and Feet to the Cross by blow after blow with big blunt nails, and not finding Thee in a pit able enough rage to satisfy their rage, they enlarged Thy Wounds and added pain to pain, and with indescribable cruelty stretched Thy Body on the Cross, pulled The from all sides, thus dislocating Thy Limbs.
I beg of Thee, O Jesus, by the memory of this mot loving suffering of the Cross, to grant me the grace to fear Thee and love Thee. Amen
Fourth Prayer
Our Father – Hail Mary
O Jesus! Heavenly Physician, raised aloft on the Cross to heal our wounds with Thine! Remember the bruises which Thou didst suffer and the weakness of all Thy Members which were distended to such a degree that never was there pain like onto Thine. From the crown of Thy Head to the soles of Thy Feet there was not one spot on Thy Body that was not in torment; and yet, forgetting all Thy suffering, Thou didst not cease to pray to Thy Heavenly Father for Thy enemies saying: “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
Through this great mercy, and in memory of this suffering, grant that the remembrance of Thy most bitter Passion may effect in me a prefect contrition and the remission of all my sins. Amen
Fifth Payer
Our Father – Hail Mary
O Jesus! Mirror of eternal splendor! Remember the sadness which Thou experienced when, contemplating in the light of Thy Divinity the predestination of those who would be saved by the merits of Thy Sacred Passion, Thou didst see at the same time, the great multitude of reprobates who would be dammed for their sins, and Thou didst complain bitterly of those hopeless, lost and unfortunate sinners.
Through the abyss of compassion and pity, and especially though the goodness which Thou displayed to the good thief when Thou saidest onto him: This day, thou shalt be with Me in paradise, I beg of thee, O Sweet Jesus, that at the hour of my death, Thou will show me mercy, Amen
Sixth Prayer
Our Father – Hail Mary
O Jesus! Beloved and most desirable King! Remember the grief Thu didst suffer when, naked and like a common criminal, Thou was fastened and raised on the Cross, when all Thy relatives and friends abandoned Thee, except for Thy beloved Mother, who remained close to Thee Thy agony and whom Thou didst entrust to Thy faithful disciple when Thou sadist to Mary: “Women behold thy son!” and to St. John: Son behold thy Mother!”
I beg Thee, O my Savior, by the sword or sorrow which pierced the soul of Thy Mother, to have compassion on me in all my afflictions and tribulations, both corporal and spiritual, and to assist me in all my trials, and especially at the hour of my death. Amen
Seventh Prayer
Our Father – Hail Mary
I Jesus! Inexhaustible Fountain of compassion, Who by a profound gesture of love said from the Cross: I thirst!”, suffered from the thirst for the salvation of the human race.

Amen
Ninth Prayer

In consideration of the enormity of Thy wounds, teach me to keep, through pure love, Thy Commandments (“Love one another as I have loved you”) whose way s wide and easy for those who love Thee. Amen
Eleventh Prayer
Our Father – Hail Mary
O Jesus! Deep abyss of mercy! I Beg Thee, in memory of Thy wounds which penetrated to the very marrow of the Bones and depth of Thy being, to draw me, a miserable sinner overwhelmed by my offenses, away from sin and hide me from Thy Face justly irritated against me. Hide me in Thy wounds until Thy anger and just indignation shall have passed away. Amen
Twelfth Prayer
Out Father – Hail Mary
O Jesus! Mirror of truth, symbol of unity, link of charity! Remember the multitude of wounds with which Thou was covered from Head to Foot, torn and reddened by the spilling of Thy adorable Blood. O Great and Universal Pain which Thou didst suffer in Thy virginal flesh for the love of us!
Sweetest Jesus! What is there that Thu couldst have done for us which Thou has not done?
May the fruit of Thy Sufferings be renewed in my soul by the faithful remembrance of Thy Passion, and may Thy Love increase in my heart each day, until I see Thee in eternity. Thou Who art the treasure of every real good and every joy, which I beg Thee to grant me, O Sweetest Jesus, in heaven. Amen

O Jesus! Only Son of the Father, Splendor and Figure of His Substance! Remember the simple and humble recommendation Thou didst make of Thy Soul to Thy Eternal Father, saying: Father into Thy Hands I commend my Spirit!” And with Thy Body all torn, and Thy Heart broken, and the bowels of Thy Mercy open to redeem us. Thou didist expire.
By this Precious Death, I beg Thee, O king of Saints, to comfort me and help me to resist the devil, the flesh and the world, so that being dead to the world I may live in Thee alone. I beg of Thee, at the hour of my death to receive me, a pilgrim and an exile returning to Thee. Amen
Fifteenth Prayer
Our Father – Hail Mary
O Jesus! True and Fruitful vine! Remember the abundant outpouring of Blood which Thu didst so generously shed from Thy Sacred Body, as juices from grapes in a wine press.
From Thy Side, pierced with the lance by a soldier, blood and water issued forth until there was not left in Thy Body a single drop, and finally, like bundle of myrrh lifted to the top f the Cross, Thy delicate Flesh was destroyed, the very Substance of Thy Body withered =, and the Marrow of the Bone dried up.
Through this bitter Passion and through the outpouring of Thy Precious Blood, I be Thee, O Sweet Jesus, to receive my soul when I am in my death agony. Amen
Conclusion
O Sweet Jesus! Pierce my heart so that that my tears of penitence and love will be my bread day and night. May I be converted entirely to Thee: may my heart be Thy perpetual habitation: may my conversation be pleasing to Thee: and may the end of my life be so praiseworthy that I may merit heaven and there with Thy saints, praise Thee Forever. Amen
