PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF LOURDES

O ever Immaculate Virgin, Mother of mercy, health of the sick, refuge of sinners,
comfort of the afflicted, you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings. Deign
to cast upon me a look of mercy. 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 of their
infirmities, both spiritual and corporal. I come, therefore, with the most
unbounded confidence to implore your maternal intercession.   (Pause in silence to mention intentions.)

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

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
