The Virgin Mary is closely associated with the Redeemer

St. Bridget of Sweden heard from the mouth of the Mother of God:

"I say with some boldness that his pain was my pain and his Heart was my Heart. As Adam and Eve sold the world for one fruit, my Son and I redeemed the world almost with one Heart. So, my daughter, imagine how I felt at the moment of my Son's death and then it will not seem heavy to you to abandon the world.”

St. Bridget also heard from the mouth of the Son of God:

"Therefore, I can affirm that my Mother and I saved man as with one Heart, I who suffered in my Heart and in my flesh, she with the pain and with the love of her Heart." (Revelationses extravagantes, ed. C. Durante, Romae 1606, c 3, p. 804)

Mary also told St. Bridget this:

"Consider, my daughter, the Passion of my Son. His limbs were like my limbs and my Heart. Indeed, as other children are in their mother's womb, so was he in me." (Revelationes, I, 1, c 35, ed Durante, p. 56)
