Today she is IMMACULATE OF LOURDES. PRAYER to the MADONNA of LOURDES to ask for a grace

Maria, you appeared to Bernadette in the crack
of this rock.
In the cold and dark of winter,
you made the warmth of a presence feel,
light and beauty.

In the wounds and darkness of our lives,
in the divisions of the world where evil is powerful,
bring hope and restore confidence!

You who are the Immaculate Conception,
come to help us sinners.
Give us the humility of conversion,
the courage of penance.
Teach us to pray for all men.

Guide us to the sources of true Life.
Make us pilgrims on the journey within your Church.
Satisfy the hunger of the Eucharist in us,
the bread of the journey, the bread of Life.

In you, O Mary, the Holy Spirit has done great things:
in his power, he brought you to the Father,
in the glory of your Son, living forever.
Look with mother's love
the miseries of our body and heart.
Shine like a bright star for everyone
in the moment of death.

With Bernadette, we pray you, O Maria,
with the simplicity of children.
Put in your mind the spirit of the Beatitudes.
Then we can, from down here, know the joy of the Kingdom
and sing with you:
Magnificat!
