OUR LADY OF LOURDES NOVENA
September 27 - October 5
O Immaculate Mother of God, from heaven itself you came and appeared to Saint Bernadette in the rough Grotto of Lourdes!
As St. Bernadette knelt at your feet, the miraculous, healing spring burst forth. Since then, multitudes have knelt before your shrine asking for your prayers. O glorious Mother of God, to you we raise our hearts and hands to implore your powerful intercession in obtaining from the loving Heart of Jesus all the graces necessary for our spiritual and temporal welfare, particularly for the grace of healing and comfort to those who are sick and suffering mention your own loved ones here). We pray to you with childlike trust. We have faith that you will look with mercy on our present petitions and win for us the grace we need and request for in this novena. We ask all this through your maternal intercession and in the powerful name of our Son Jesus. Amen.
