Bridget of Sweden
4 quotes
“Our Lady said to Bridget: "To reach the heart of God there are two paths: the first is the humility of sincere contrition, which leads and introduces man into the heart of God and into spiritual conversations. The second is the consideration of the Passion of my Son, who overcomes the insensitivity of the human heart and makes it run with joy towards the heart of God ("Book VI, 101"). (p. 60)”

“The soul of the Virgin, as soon as it was separated from the body, was raised by God wonderfully above all the heavens and had dominion over the whole world. God made her Queen of Heaven for Eternity. From then on, the Angels became so obedient to the Virgin that they would endure just everything, even the pains of Hell, rather than not observing her commands. God made the Virgin so powerful over evil spirits, that every man possessed by them was immediately freed if he implored her with a sincere heart. ("Saturday Sermo angelicus", chap. XX, "Second Saturday Lesson"; p. 117).”

“O Signore, vieni presto ed illumina la notte! | A te anelo come i moribondi anelano a te. | Dì all'anima mia, che niente succeda | senza che tu lo permetta, | e che nulla di quello che tu permetti | sia senza conforto. || O Gesù, Figlio di Dio, | tu che tacevi in presenza dei tuoi accusatori, | frena la mia lingua | finché avrò trovato quello che dovrò dire e come dirlo. || Mostrami la via e disponimi a seguirla. | Pericoloso è indugiare e rischioso proseguire. | Rispondi alla mia supplica e mostrami la via. | Vengo a te come il ferito va dal medico in cerca di aiuto. | Dona, o Signore, pace al mio cuore!”

Also quoted by: Brigida di Svezia (it)
“The apostles were pure and empty vessels; therefore the Holy Spirit came upon them and filled them with Himself. He came like a torrent, because He filled them with His sweetness and His divine consolation. It came like fire, because it so inflamed their hearts with fervor for divine love, that they loved and feared none but God. It came in the form of tongues; for just as the Holy Spirit, being in their souls, moved them not to desire anyone but Him, so divine wisdom made them eloquent and the virtue of the Holy Spirit, performing the task of every tongue, spoke the truth. Since these vessels were empty and desired God above all things, they were worthy of receiving the Holy Spirit because he does not enter into someone who is already full and full ("Book VI, 36"). (p. 61)”
