A Few Words to the Wise
rhapsody August 1st, 2009
From: The Revelations of Saint Birgitta of Sweden -
Book 2, Chapter 6
“…I can do all things in a single instant and with
a single word, but I want your reward to grow
through your own efforts and my glory to grow
through your bravery. Do not be surprised at
what I say. If the wisest man in the world
could count up how many souls fall into hell
each day, they would outnumber the sands of
the sea or the pebbles on the shore. This is a
matter of justice, because these souls have
separated themselves from their Lord and God.
I am saying this so that the devil’s numbers may
decrease, and the danger become known, and
my army be filled up. If only they would listen
and come to their senses!”
