Promises to those who sing
"Ave Maris Stella"During a riot at Rome, a mob came to the house where St. Bridge lived; a leader talked of burning Bridget alive. She prayed to Our Lord to know if she should flee to safety. Jesus advised her to stay: "It doesn't matter if they plot Thy death. My power will break the malice of Thy enemies: If Mine crucified Me, it is because I permitted it." Our Blessed Mother added: "Sing as a group the AVE MARIS STELLA and I'll guard you from every danger."
"The approvation of such revelations implies nohing more than, after mature examination, it is permissible to publish them for the unit of the faithful."![]()

Dei Mater alma,
Atque semper virgo,
Felix coel iporta.Sumens illud ave
Gabrielis ore,
Funda nos in pace,
Mutans Evae nomen.Solve vincla reis
Profer lumen caecis

Bona cuncta posce.Monstra te esse Matrem
Sumat per te preces
Qui pr onobis natus
Tulit esse tuus.Virgo singularis
Inter omnes mitis
Nos culpis solutos
Mites fac et castos.Vitam presta puram
Iter para tutum,
Ut, videntes Jesum
Samper collaetemur
Sitlaus Deo Patri,
Summo Cristo decus

Tribus honor unus.
Amen.Hail thou star of ocean
Portal of the sky

Uttered long ago,
Eva's name reversing,
Established peace belowBreak the captives' fetters,
Light on blindness pour,
All our ills expelling,
Every bliss imploreShow thyself aMother,
Offer Him our sighs,
Who for us incarnate
did not thee despiseVirgin of all virgins
To thy shelter take us,
Gentlest of the gentle
Chaste and gentle make usStill, as on we journey,
Help our weak endeavor,
Till with thee and Jesus
We rejoice forever
throuh the highest heaven,
To the almighty Three
Father,Son and Spirit,
One same Glory Be,
Amen.Pope Benedict XV expressed himself as follows on the Revelations of St. Bridge:
