Videbat sponsa visionem, quod a castro Sancti Angeli vsque ad Sanctum Petrum in Roma erant multa habitacula circumdata muro. Et Christus declarat illam dicens, quod ille sanctus papa, qui spiritualiter et feruenter dilexerit Ecclesiam, habitabit ibi cum cardinalibus et consiliariis suis.
The Vision of the Sacred Enclosure
The visionary describes a walled area in Rome connecting the Castle of Saint Angelo to Saint Peter's Basilica.
In Rome, I saw a stretch of land that looked like a single plain, extending from the Pope’s palace near Saint Peter’s to the Castle of Saint Angelo, and from that castle to the House of the Holy Spirit, and on to the very church of Saint Peter. A very strong wall surrounded this plain, and there were various dwellings around the wall itself.
A Call to Holy Leadership
Christ defines the criteria for the Pope who will dwell in this sacred space, emphasizing the necessity of sacrificial love for the Church.
Then I heard a voice saying: "That Pope who loves his bride with the same love with which I and my friends have loved her will possess this place with his advisors, so that he may more freely and quietly summon his counselors." Here Birgitta prophesies the Vatican City. Previously, the Popes lived in the Lateran rather than the Vatican. /
Read the original Latin
Vidi in Roma a palacio pape prope Sanctum Petrum vsque ad castrum Sancti Angeli et a castro vsque ad domum Sancti Spiritus, vsque ad ipsam ecclesiam Sancti Petri, quasi quod esset vna planicies. Et ipsam planiciem circuibat firmissimus murus diuersaque habitacula erant circa ipsum murum.
Tunc audiui vocem dicentem: "Papa ille, qui sponsam suam ea dileccione diliget, qua ego et amici mei dileximus eam, possidebit hunc locum cum assessoribus suis, vt liberius et quiecius aduocare possit consiliarios suos." /Here Birgitta prophesies the Vatican City. Earlier the Popes inhabited the Lateran, rather than the Vatican. /
