A Novena to Our Lady of Lourdes

O ever Immaculate Virgin,

Mother of Mercy,

Health of the Sick,

Refuge of Sinners,

Comfort to 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.

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.

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
