Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes: For Healing and Strength In the Midst of Struggles

The Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes is a heartfelt invocation to the Blessed Virgin Mary, honoring her apparition at Lourdes, France, in 1858. This sacred event began when a young peasant girl, Saint Bernadette Soubirous, experienced a series of visions of the Virgin Mary in a grotto near the town. Mary revealed herself as the Immaculate Conception and instructed Bernadette to dig in the ground, where a healing spring emerged. Since then, Lourdes has become a renowned pilgrimage site, known for miraculous healings and spiritual renewal.

This prayer addresses Mary as the Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, Health of the Sick, Refuge of Sinners, and Comforter of the Afflicted. It calls upon her compassionate intercession for those suffering physically and spiritually, trusting in her maternal care and the graces she bestows from this holy site. By reciting this prayer, the faithful seek comfort, healing, and the strength to face their struggles, confident in Mary’s loving presence and intercession.

PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF LOURDES

O Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, Health of the Sick, Refuge of Sinners, Comforter of the Afflicted, you know my words, 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; already, any of those who are suffering have received the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal.

I come, therefore, with complete confidence to implore your maternal intercession. (Say your intentions)

Our Father... Hail Mary(3x)... Glory Be...
