Mary most holy Mother of God
Mary most admirable Queen, who vouchsafed to look down upon a wild spot of the earth, and there to seek a poor child
Mary who appeared many times in the Grotto of Lourdes to a young peasant girl
Mary who recommended that young girl to pray much for sinners
Mary who sent that artless child to tell the priests that you wished a chapel to be built upon the rock where you had appeared.
Mary who told that humble child, that you wished people to visit the Grotto, and go thither in procession
Mary who caused a fountain of clear water to spring from the rock, on which your blessed feet had rested
Mary who choose the sublime title of your Immaculate Conception to be honoured at Lourdes
Mary who confounded all the efforts of human wisdom which sought to oppose your favours in the grotto of Lourdes.
Mary who produces the uninterrupted flow from the miraculous fountain

In our combats against the devil, the world and the flesh – defend us O Mary
In true and solid piety – strengthen us O Mary
In our afflictions, pains and miseries – assist us O Mary
In our sickness infirmities and sorrows – encourage us O Mary

V. Pray for us o holy and Immaculate Mother of God
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ

Let us Pray

O Jesus, God of unspeakable goodness, who hast appointed Mary thy Immaculate Mother, the dispenser of those graces and mercies. Which she loves to shower down in so wonderful a manner upon the singularly favoured rocks of Lourdes, we humbly beseech thee by her prayers and merits to grant us all that is salutary for us, health of soul and body, and particularly the grace to know Thee, and love Thee more and more; so that having faithfully served thee upon earth, we may one day appear before thy throne in Heaven, at the feet of Mary, our holy Mother, with her to praise, love and thank thee for all eternity.
Amen.

 

To Mary

Be you eternally blessed, praised, loved and invoked, O Mary who pours out such a profusion of graces at Lourdes, that place sanctified by your presence. O may you ever be our Mother, our hope, and our consolation here below, and our Queen in celestial bliss above.
Amen.

Prayer of Monsieur Estrade, a witness of the apparitions.

Mother my hair is white and I am near the grave. I do not dare to look upon my iniquities and more than ever do I feel the need of taking refuge under the cloak of thy mercy and pity. When at the last great hour I have to appear before thy Divine Son, vouchsafe to be my protectoress and to remember that thou has seen me on my knees and believing, beneath the sacred vault of thy Grotto at Lourdes, when thou didst reveal thyself to Bernadette and through Bernadette to me.
