Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes

 

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 obtained

the cure for 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.
