Novena to Our Lady of Lourdes Day 1 Feb 2- Feb 10

Opening Prayer (repeat each day)
.
Be blessed, O most pure Virgin, for having vouchsafed to manifest Thy shining glory with life, sweetness and beauty, in the Grotto of Lourdes, saying to the child, St. Bernadette: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” A thousand times we praise Thee for Thine Immaculate Conception. And now, O ever Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, Health of the Infirm, Refuge of Sinners, Comforter of the Afflicted, Thou knowest our wants, our troubles, and our sufferings; deign to cast upon us Thy look of mercy.
.
By appearing in the grotto of Lourdes, Thou wast pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary, from whence Thou dost dispense Thy favors, and already many have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and physical. We come, therefore, with the most unbounded confidence to implore Thy maternal affection, and intercession. Obtain for us, O loving Mother, the request we beseech of Thee…
