O
Immaculate Virgin Mary,
Mother
of Mercy,
you
are the refuge of sinners,
the
health of the sick,
and
the comfort of the afflicted.
You
know my wants,
my
troubles, my sufferings.
By
your appearance at the Grotto of Lourdes
you
made it a privileged sanctuary
where
your favors are given to people
streaming
to it from the whole world.
Over
the years countless sufferers
have
obtained the cure for their infirmities -
whether
of soul, mind, or body.
Therefore
I come to you
with
limitless confidence
to
implore your motherly 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 in Your glory.
Amen.
