Feast Day: February 11

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 share your glory. Amen.

To say a Novena: Recite the above prayer for nine (9) consecutive days along with one Our Father, one Hail Mary and one Glory Be.
