Persecuted - How Saints Endure Crises in the Church

Persecution is part of the life for a Christian. The mystery of it and why it happens to even the holiest of Christ's followers will always confound even the wisest of individuals. Our guest, Joshua Charles, digs into this topic and breaks down the lives and experiences of many of our brothers and sisters who have gone before us, having endured some of the most difficult and challenging forms of persecution, yet remained steadfast and relentless in their love for God and for souls. How can we do the same in our time?

The seven promises given to St Bridget of Sweden for those who devote themselves to her Seven Sorrows.

1. I will grant peace to their families.

2. They will be enlightened about the Divine Mysteries.

3. I will console them in their pains, and I will accompany them in their work.

4. I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my Divine Son or the sanctification of their souls.

5. I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives.

6. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death—they will see the face of their mother.

7. I have obtained this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.
