Description

Our Lady of Lourdes Prayer for healing

O 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 favours; and already many sufferers 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 grant of my requests.
(mention your petition)
Through gratitude for your favours, I will endeavour to imitate your virtues, that I may one day share
your glory, and bless you in eternity.
Amen.

“At my third request she (the Blessed Mother)
put on a serious air and appeared to humiliate herself.
She joined her hands, raising them above her breast.
She looked towards heaven, then she slowly separated her hands, leaned towards me and said with a trembling voice:
‘I am the Immaculate Conception!’ “
