I have to say that this quote made my skin CRAWL… *shudder:(
15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. Book Of Genesis 3:15
 
Because Mary, being the VERY christian woman she was/is… would not have told someone that SHE will save the world but that her Son would do it ALL… Being as virtuous as I believe she was/is she would have been so humble and taken herself out of the equasion all together…

She is Queen, what she said has nothing to do with virtue and humblness. When St. Bridget was in danger during a riot in Rome, Mary told her to sing the Ave Maris Stella (Hail thou star of ocean) and she would guard her from every danger.

Well, I don’t perscribe to the title of ‘Queen’ when it comes to Mary.

Let me ask you… was this said to Bridget’s face or in a vision? I am unfamilier with these stories…

Paul was also virtuous, humble and Christian, yet he rejoiced in those he helped to save, and in the fact that he helped to save them. He certainly never said that Christ would do it all - that’s not the way Christ said it works either. ‘He who believes in me will do the works I do, AND EVEN GREATER’.

It’s not inconsistent with humility to reveal what God plans to do through you and to take joy in your co-operation with God’s plan.

I’m not sure, but it says she prayed, so I belive to her face.
 
Read it again, the woman is Mary, she crushes the Head of Satan, Mary is the new Eve.
In SB’s defence, most non-Catholic translations of the Bible say ‘HE’ (Christ) will crush the head of the serpent, not the woman.

As St. Bridget for a long time wanted to know the number of blows Our Lord received during His Passion, He one day appeared to her and said: “I received 5480 blows on My Body. If you wish to honor them in some way, recite fifteen times the Our Father and Hail Mary, together with the following prayers, which I Myself will teach you for an entire year. When the year is finished, you will have honored each of My Wounds.”

Our Lord made the following promises to anyone who recited the fifteen St. Bridget Prayers devoutly every day for a whole year:

Promises
I will deliver 15 souls of his lineage from Purgatory.
15 souls of his lineage will be confirmed and preserved in grace.
15 sinners of his lineage will be converted.
Whoever recites these Prayers will attain the first degree of perfection.
15 days before his death, I will give him My Precious Body in order that he may escape eternal starvation;
I will give him my Precious Blood to drink lest he thirst eternally.
15 days before his death he will feel a deep contrition for all his sins and will have a perfect knowledge of them.
I will place before him the sign of My Victorious Cross for his help and defense against the attacks of his enemies.
Before his death I shall come with My Dearest Beloved Mother.
I shall graciously receive his soul, and will lead it into eternal joys.
And having led it there I shall give him a special draught from the fountain of My Deity, something I will not do for those who have not recited My Prayers.
Let it be known that whoever may have been living in a state of mortal sin for 30 years, but who will recite devoutly, or have the intention to recite these Prayers, I the Lord will forgive him all his sins.
I shall protect him from strong temptations.
I shall preserve and guard his five senses.
I shall preserve him from a sudden death.
His soul will be delivered from eternal death.
He will obtain all he asks for from God and the Blessed Virgin.
If he has lived all his life doing his own will and he is to die the next day, his life will be prolonged.
Every time one recites these Prayers he gains 100 days indulgence.
He is assured of being joined to the supreme Choir of Angels.
Whoever teaches these prayers to another will have continual joy and merit which will last throughout eternity.
There where these Prayers are being said or will be said in the future, God is present with His grace.

First Prayer
Our Father - Hail Mary.
O Jesus Christ! Eternal Sweetness to those who love Thee, joy surpassing all joy and all desire, Salvation and Hope of all sinners, Who hast proved that Thou hast no greater desire than to be among men, even assuming human nature at the fullness of time for the love of men, recall all the sufferings Thou hast endured from the instant of Thy conception, and especially during Thy Passion, as it was decreed and ordained from eternity in the Divine plan.

Remember, O Lord, that during the Last Supper with Thy disciples having washed their feet, Thou gavest them Thy Most Precious Body and Blood, and while at the same time Thou didst sweetly console them, Thou didst fortell them Thy coming Passion.

Remember the sadness and bitterness which Thou didst experience in Thy Soul as Thou Thyself bore witness saying: “My Soul is sorrowful even unto death.”

Remember all the fear, anguish and pain that Thou didst suffer in Thy delicate Body before the torment of the Crucifixion, when, after having prayed three times, bathed in a sweat of blood, Thou wast betrayed by Judas, Thy disciple, arrested by the people of a nation Thou hadst chosen and elevated, accused by false witnesses, unjustly judged by three judges during the flower of Thy youth and during the solemn Paschal season.

Remember that Thou wast despoiled of Thy garments and clothed in those of derision; that Thy Face and Eyes were veiled, that Thou wast buffeted, crowned with thorns, a reed placed in Thy Hands, that Thou wast crushed with blows and overwhelmed with affronts and outrages.

In memory of all these pains and sufferings which Thou didst endure before Thy Passion on the Cross, grant me before my death true contrition, a sincere and entire confession, worthy satisfaction and the remission all my sins. Amen.

Second Prayer
Our Father – Hail Mary.

Read it again, the woman is Mary, she crushes the Head of Satan, Mary is the new Eve.
Genesis 3:15 *King James Version*:
15And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
No where does it say the woman crushes the head… and that is the King James Version… I looked up several translations and each either said IT would BRUISE the head or CRUSH it but never SHE would do either… 🤷
 
In SB’s defence, most non-Catholic translations of the Bible say ‘HE’ (Christ) will crush the head of the serpent, not the woman.
Right this is from the good old fashion 👍 Douay-Rheims Bible

So do most Catholic translations besides the Douay-Rheims.
