O ever-Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, health of the sick, refuge of sinners,comforter of the afflicted,you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings; look with mercy on me. By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes, you were pleased to make it a 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 complete confidence to implore your maternal intercession. Obtain, O loving Mother, the grant of my requests.

(Name your request)

Through gratitude for your favours, I will endeavour to imitate your virtues, that I may one day share your glory,and bless you in eternity.

Amen.”
