​ Pamphlets to Inspire

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 favors;

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.

Through gratitude for your favors,

I will endeavor to imitate your virtues,

that I may one day shate your glory.

Amen.
