Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes


O ever-Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, health of the sick, refuge of sinners,comforter of the afflicted,you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings;look with mercy on me.

By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes,you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary,whence you dispense your favors;and already many sufferers have obtainedthe cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal.

I come, therefore, with complete confidence to implore your maternal intercession.

Obtain, O loving Mother, the grant of my requests. Through gratitude for your favors, I will endeavor to imitate your virtues, that I may one day share your glory. Amen.
