Prayers of and to St Bridget.

Prayer, Benedictus sis tu.



A prayer of St Bridget blessing God. She recounts how God entered the womb of the Virgin Mary, who preserved her virginity; how he entered and emerged from her without sin, consoled her after his ascension, received her into heaven, and placed her beside him, above the angels.
