Our Lady Of Lourdes - Feast

O Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, health of the sick, refuge of sinners, comforter of the afflicted, you appeared at the lonely grotto at Lourdes to a simple child and asked her to bring your message to the world. We come to your today full of confidence, we place our petitions before you and ask you to intercede on our behalf with your Son Jesus. Help us to imitate you and live like you so that we may one day enjoy with you the blissful vision of God’s face. We make our prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen

Dear Mother, so fruitful in miracles at Lourdes, we your children ask you today to protect the Church and our families. May we grow to be a community of love where each will be concerned for the good of the other, especially the poor, the weak, the underprivileged, victims of drugs, drinks or other social evils. May we all be known by the quality of our lives, to be your true devotees, as we become more like you and your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.

Hymn:

Hail all hail great Queen of Heaven
Hail sweet Notre Dame de Lourdes
‘Neath whose care our weary exile
Is from countless ills secured.

Then let man and angels praise thee
Fount of grace to all assured.
While in gladsome strains we are singing
Hail sweet Notre Dame de Lourdes

Blessed thou among all others
Mary Mistress of the sphere
Star of Hope serenely beaming
Through this darksome vale of tears.
