During a riot at Rome, a mob came to the house where St. Bridget 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."
