Saint Bridget of Sweden received extraordinary "Revelations" from the Lord, who specified the necessity of distinguishing between the Scriptures that were inspired by the Holy Spirit and the religious works by ordinary Christians. Only the Gospels canonized by the Church are dictated by Divine Science. In the middle of the 14th century, the Blessed Virgin already told Bridget about the Immaculate Conception: "The truth is that I was conceived without original sin." (Book VI, Chapter 4) Mary also revealed many secrets of her heart to Bridget, telling her that at the moment of her conception, her soul, by sanctifying its body, spread a mysterious and inexpressible joy throughout her mother's entire being.
