OUR LADY OF LOURDES
February 11 - Feast
Prayer of Consecration to Our Lady of Lourdes –
The Immaculate Conception
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Virgin Immaculate,
you appeared 18 times to Bernadette at the grotto in Lourdes
to remind Christians of what the truths in the Gospel require of them.
You call them to prayer, penance, the Eucharist, and the life of
the church.
To answer your call more fully,
I dedicate myself, through you, to your Son Jesus Christ.
Make me willing to accept what He said.
By the fervor of my faith,
by the conduct of my life in all its aspects,
by my devotion to the sick,
let me work with you in the comforting of those who suffer
and in the reconciliation of people
that the church may be one and there be peace in the world.
All this I ask, confident that you, Our Lady, willfully answer my prayer.
Blessed be the Holy and Immaculate Conception of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God. Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us!
St. Bernadette, pray for us!
