Our Lords words to his bride about the contempt of the New Law, and about how that same Law is now rejected and despised by the world, and about how bad priests are not Gods priests but Gods betrayers, and about the punishment and damnation they receive.
Book 1 - Chapter 47 SAINT BRIDGET PATRON SAINT OF EUROPE PART III
That is why those who eat my bread betray me. What murder could be more unmanly and abhorrent than when someone kills himself? And what betrayal is worse than when two are joined by an indissoluble bond, and one betrays the other, as is the case of married people? But what does the man do in order to betray his wife? Indeed, he insincerely says to her: Let us go to such and such a place so I can fulfill my will with you. She goes with him in true simplicity, ready for her husbands every wish. But when he finds the proper time and place, he brings against her three means of betrayal: Either something so heavy that it kills her with one blow, or something so sharp that it cuts right through her intestines, or something to smother the spirit of life in her directly. Then, when she is dead, the betrayer thinks to himself: Now I have done wrong. If my crime becomes known publicly, I will be judged to death. Therefore, he goes and lays his dead wifes body in some hidden place, so that his sin may not be revealed.
This is what the priests who are my betrayers do to me. For they and I are joined together by a single bond when they take the bread and pronounce the words that change it into my true body, which I assumed from the Virgin. No angel could do this, for I gave this dignity to priests alone and elected them for the highest office. But now they act towards me like betrayers, for they show me a happy and kind face and lead me to a hidden place to betray me. These priests show me a happy face when they appear to be good and simple, and they treacherously lead me to a hidden place when they approach the altar. There I am ready like a bride or bridegroom to do all of their will, but they betray me.
First they lay something heavy over me when the divine office, which they say for me, is heavy and burdensome to them. They would rather speak a hundred words for the honor of the world than one for my honor. They would rather give a hundred coins of gold for the glory of the world than one penny for my sake. They would rather work a hundred times for their own benefit and that of the world than once for my honor. They press me down with this heavy burden, so that it is as though I am dead in their hearts. Second, they pierce me with a sharp blade that penetrates the intestines whenever the priest goes to the altar with the knowledge that he has sinned and repented, but yet is firmly resolved to sin again when his office is done, thinking thus to himself: I truly repent of my sin, but I will not give up the woman with whom I have sinned so that I may not be able to sin any longer with her. These priests pierce me with the sharpest blade. Third, they smother the spirit when they think inwardly to themselves in this way: It is good and delightful to be with the world and good to live in lust and I cannot restrain myself. I will do my will in my youth; when I grow old, I will become restrained and better myself. And by this wretched thought the spirit of life is smothered.
