Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes

O Mother of mercy, healer 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 at the Grotto of Lourdes, you made it a privileged sanctuary, where you dispense your favors. 

Many of those who suffer have been cured of their infirmities, both physical and spiritual. I come therefore, with complete confidence to implore your intercession. 

O loving Mother, if it is God's will, grant my request. In gratitude for your favors, I will endeavor to imitate your virtues, that I may one day share in your glory. Amen.
