Flower of Devotion

Once the Lord Jesus said to St. Bridget:

“I am the sacramental bread. In this Bread we can see three things: shape, taste and roundness. And I have like that Bread: taste, shape and roundness. Taste, for just as without bread every dish is less palatable, so it is without me; Everything that exists is unpalatable, powerless, and vain. It is also in the shape of Bread, for I am of the earth. For I am of a virgin Mother, and My Mother is of Adam, and Adam was of the earth. I also have a roundness in which neither beginning nor end can be found; for I am without beginning and without end. No one can see or examine the end or the beginning in My wisdom, power, and love. For these three things, namely, in taste, shape and roundness, I am the Bread which on the altar presents Itself and tastes as bread, but has been transformed into My Body which has been crucified. For like a dry object it is easily caught on fire when it is brought near to the fire, and is quickly burned, and of the shape of the tree nothing remains, but everything is fire; in the same way, when the words “This is My Body” are pronounced, whatever was previously bread immediately becomes My Body. But it is not consumed by fire, like a tree, but by My divinity.
