About how the bride perceived a saint speaking to God about a woman who was being horribly tormented by the devil and who was later delivered from him through the prayers of the glorious Virgin Mary.
Book 1 - Chapter 16 SAINT BRIDGET PATRON SAINT OF EUROPE PART I

The bride saw a saint speaking to God, saying: Why is the soul of this woman so afflicted by the devil when you have redeemed her by your blood? The devil replied instantly and said: Because she is mine by right. Then our Lord said: With what right is she yours? The devil answered: There are two ways; one leads to the kingdom of Heaven and the other to hell. When she saw these two ways, her conscience and reason told her that she should choose my way. And since she had a free will for choosing the way that she wanted, it seemed to her more beneficial to turn her will toward committing sin, and so she began to walk on my way.

Thereafter, I deceived her with three sins: namely, gluttony, love of money, and sensuality. Consequently, I now dwell in her belly and in her nature, and I hold her with five hands. With the first hand I hold her eyes, so she will not see spiritual things. With my second hand I hold her hands, so she will not do any good deeds. With the third hand I hold her feet, so she will not walk to that which is good. With the fourth hand I hold her reason and understanding, so she will not be ashamed to sin. And with the fifth hand I hold her heart, so she will not return to the right way through remorse and penance.

Then the Blessed Virgin Mary said to her dear Son: My beloved Son, compel him to tell the truth about the things I want to ask him. The Son said: You are my Mother, you are the Queen of Heaven and the Mother of mercy, you are the consolation of the souls in purgatory and the joy of those who make their way in the world; you are the Mistress of the angels and the most Holy before God, and you are also in authority over the devil. Therefore, command this devil what you want, and he will answer you.

Then the Holy Virgin Mary asked the devil, saying: Tell me, devil, what intention had this woman before she entered the church? The devil answered her: She had an intention to abstain from sin. Then the Virgin Mary said to the devil: Since the will that she previously had led her to hell, tell me now, where does the will that she presently has lead her - namely, her will to abstain from sin? The devil answered reluctantly: This will of abstaining from sin leads her toward Heaven.
