Novena to our Lady of Lourdes ~ Day 1
Be blessed, O most pure Virgin,
for having vouchsafed to manifest thy shining with life,
sweetness and beauty, in the Grotto of Lourdes,
saying to the child, St. Bernadette: "I am the Immaculate Conception."
A thousand times we congratulate thee upon thy Immaculate Conception.
And now, O ever Immaculate Virgin, Mother of mercy, Health of the sick,
Refuge of sinners, comforter of the afflicted,
thou know our wants, our troubles, our sufferings;
deign to cast upon us a look of mercy.
By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes,
thou were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary,
whence thou dispense thy favours, and already many have obtained
the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and physical.
We come, therefore, with the most unbounded confidence
to implore thy maternal intercession.
Obtain for us, O loving Mother, the granting of our request..
Through gratitude for thy favours,
we will endeavor to imitate thy virtues,
that we may on day share thy glory in Heaven.
Our Lady of Lourdes, Mother of Christ,
thou had influence with thy divine Son while upon earth.
thou have the same influence now in Heaven.
Pray for us and obtain for us from thy Divine Son
our special requests if it be the Divine Will.Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Saint Bernadette, pray for us.
Day One
O Mary Immaculate, Our Lady of Lourdes
Virgin and Mother, Queen of Heaven,
chosen from all eternity to be the Mother of the Eternal Word
and in virtue of this title preserved from original sin,
we kneel before thee as did little Bernadette at Lourdes
and pray with childlike trust in thee
that as we contemplate thy glorious appearance at Lourdes,
thou will look with mercy on our present petition
and secure for us a favourable answer
to the request for which we are making this novena..
O Brilliant star of purity,
Mary Immaculate, Our Lady of Lourdes,
glorious Assumption,
triumphant in thy Coronation,
show unto us the mercy of the Mother of God,
Virgin Mary, Queen and Mother,
be our comfort, hope,
strength and consolation. Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Saint Bernadette, pray for us. Amen
