O Ever Immaculate Virgin Mother of
mercy, health of the sick , refuge of sinners,
comfort of the afflicted, you know
my wants, my troubles, my sufferings;
deign to cast on me a look of pity. By
appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes, you
were pleased to make it privileged
sanctuary, whence you dispense your
favours, and already many sufferers
have obtained the cure of their infirmities,
both spiritual and corporal. I
come, therefore, with the most
unbounded confidence, to implore your
maternal intercession. Obtain, O loving
Mother, the grant of my requests.
Through gratitude for your favours, I
will endeaver to imitate your virtues,
that I may one day see your glory.
Amen
