Novena to our Lady of Lourdes ~ Day 7
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 favors,
and already many have obtained the cure of their infirmities,
both spiritual and physical.
We come, therefore, with the most unbounded confidence
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.
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; 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 7
O Almighty God,
who by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
did prepare a worthy dwelling place for Thy Son,
we humbly beseech Thee that as we contemplate
the apparition of Our Lady in the Grotto of Lourdes,
we may be blessed with health of mind and body.
And, O most gracious Holy Mother Mary,
beloved Mother of Our Lord and Redeemer,
look with favor upon us as thou did that day on Bernadette
and intercede with God for us that the prayer petition
we now so earnestly seek may be granted to us..
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.Amen
Saint Bernadette, pray for us.Amen
