Book of Psalms 64:10
The flowers have appeared in our land,
the time of pruning is come: the voice
of the turtle is heard in our land.
Behold my beloved speaketh to me:
Arise, make haste, my love, my
dove, my beautiful one, and come.
My dove in the clefts of the rock, in
the hollow places of the wall, show
me they face, let thy voice sound in
my ears: for thy voice is sweet, and
thy face comely.
Canticles 2:12, 10, 14
Docile to the invitation of your maternal voice,
O Immaculate Virgin of Lourdes, we prostrate at your
feet in the humble grotto where you appeared to show
to those who have gone astray the path of prayer and
penitence, gifting those who suffer, the graces and
prodigies of your sovereign good.
Receive, O Compassionate Queen, the praises and
supplications that peoples and nations, united in
their sadness and anguish, elevate to You with confidence.
O White Vision of Paradise, cast away from men the fog
of error with the light of your faith!
O Mystical Rose, save the downtrodden souls with the
celestial perfume of hope!
O Inexhaustible Font of Healing Waters, reanimate the
hardened hearts with the wave of your divine charity!
Make us into your children, comforted by You in our sorrows,
protected from dangers, supported in our struggles.
Let us love and serve your sweet Jesus, thus deserving the
Eternal Joys of Heaven, together with You. Amen
First
Virgin Mother of Lourdes, who was always loyal, give us
your confidence, give us your faith. (Hail Mary)
Second
Virgin Mother of Lourdes, bless our family table with the
bread of health, with the bread of work, with the bread of
nourishment, with the bread of love. (Hail Mary)
Third
Virgin Mother of Lourdes, bless our rest with the peace of
the soul and the joy of the spirit. (Hail Mary)
Blessed be, O Most Pure Virgin, for having consented to
manifest your splendor with life, sweetness and beauty in
the grotto of Lourdes, telling the child Bernadette:
"I am the Immaculate Conception."
Thousands of times we have been overjoyed by your Immaculate
Conception. And how, O forever Inmaculate Virgin, Mother of
Mercy, Health for the Sick, Refuge of Sinners, and Consoler of
the Afflicted, you who know our desires, our problems and our
sufferings, direct your eyes of mercy towards us.
By appearing in the grotto of Lourdes you were pleased in making
it a priviledged Sanctuary, from which you dispensed your favors,
and where already many have obtained the cure for their infirmities,
spiritual as much as physical. We come to you therefore, with the
most unlimited confidence, to implore for your maternal intercession.
Achieve for us, O Most Powerful Mother, that our petition be granted.
Through the greatfulness for your favors, we will strive to imitate
your virtues, so as to one day share in your glory.
O Blessed Lady of Lourdes, Mother of Christ, you who had influence
with your Divine Son while you were on earth, have now the same
influence in Heaven. Plead for us, and obtain for us from your
Divine Son our special petitions, if that be in accord with the
will of God.
Amen
Our Lady of Lourdes, plead for us
Saint Bernadette, plead for us
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Immaculate Virgin, you
appeared eighteen times to Bernadette in the grotto of
Lourdes, to remind Christians the marvels and demands of
the Gospel, inviting them to Prayer, Penitence, the
Eucharist and the life of the Church.
To better respond to your call, I consecrate myself by your hands
to your son Jesus.
Make me docile to the Holy Spirit and,
by the fervor of my faith, for the manifestation of my life,
for my dedication to the service of the sick, enable me to
work with you in conforting those who suffer, in the recognition
of all people, in the work of unity in the Church, and for the
peace of the world.
With total confidence, O My Lady, I address this prayer, and I
ask you please to receive it and attend to its requests.
Amen
Our Lady of Lourdes, plead for us
Saint Bernadette, plead for us
