Satan Asks Christ Why He Loves His Bride (St. Bridget of Sweden)

In a mystical experience, St. Bridget of Sweden hears the devil ask Christ why He loves His bride so much. The Virgin Mary’s words to the bride, St. Bridget, about her own sorrow at the suffering of Christ and about how the world was sold through Adam and Eve and bought back as with one heart through Christ and his Virgin Mother. St. Bridget also reveals Our Lord’s answer to an angel who was praying that sorrow in body and soul should be given to the bride, and about how even greater sorrow should be given to more perfect souls.
