Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes

Our Lady of Lourdes, Mother of Mercy, health of the sick, refuge of sinners, comforter of the afflicted, you know our wants, troubles & sufferings; look with mercy on us. By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes, you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary, a special place of peace & healing. So many suffering have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal. I come, therefore, with complete confidence to implore your maternal intercession. Obtain, O loving Mother, the granting of our requests. Through gratitude for your favours, we will endeavour to imitate your virtues, that we may one day share your glory.
Amen.
