Novena to Our Lady of Lourdes 2017 | Day 2

February 3, 2017

The Church has approved and recognized more than 60 miracles that have happened through the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes. It is said that these miracles are the continuation of Jesus' healing ministry. Today, we pray for all who suffer with any sort of physical illness, that have the strength they need to persevere through their suffering with patience and faith, like St. Bernadette.

Day 2 - The Novena to Our Lady of Lourdes

Immaculate Mother, comfort us in our affliction.

Our Lady of Lourdes, we come to you like little Bernadette at the grotto. We pray with childlike trust in you.

Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, when you appeared in Lourdes, you made it a holy sanctuary where many have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal. We pray with confidence for your holy intercession.

(State your intentions here)

Holy Mother of the Rosary, we feel confident that your prayers on our behalf will be graciously heard by God.

Immaculate Mother, show us your mercy, O Mother of God.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, we fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do we come, before thee we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer us. Amen.

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us!

Saint Bernadette, pray for us!

Grant us, O merciful God, protection in our weakness, that we, who keep the Memorial of the Immaculate Mother of God, may with her intercession, rise up from our iniquities. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.
