The 12 Years' Prayer of St. Bridget of Sweden

The Twelve Years’ Prayer of Saint Bridget of Sweden (1303–1373) is a powerful devotion revealed to the mystic and visionary Saint Bridget, foundress of the Order of the Most Holy Savior. Through a series of private revelations, Our Lord promised extraordinary graces to all who would honor the sufferings He endured during His Passion and pray these prayers daily for twelve years.

This devotion draws the faithful into profound meditation on the wounds of Christ, His Precious Blood, and the sorrows endured for the salvation of humanity. It is both a contemplation of the infinite mercy of God and a pledge of reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The Holy See approved the Twelve Years’ Prayer in 1740, encouraging the faithful to unite themselves to the suffering Redeemer through this act of love and perseverance. Those who pray it faithfully are assured of deep spiritual protection and abundant graces at the hour of death.

May this devotion, born from the revelations to Saint Bridget, inflame our hearts with gratitude for the Passion of Christ and strengthen our souls in hope of His eternal promise.
