Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults
O Immaculate
Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, you are the refuge of sinners, the health of the
sick, and the comfort of the afflicted. You know my wants, my troubles, my
sufferings. By your appearance at the Grotto of Lourdes you made it a privileged
sanctuary where your favors are given to people streaming to it from the whole
world. Over the years countless sufferers have obtained the cure for their
infirmities -- whether of soul, mind, or body. Therefore I come to you with
limitless confidence to implore your motherly intercession. Obtain, O loving
Mother, the grant of my requests. Through gratitude for Your favors, I will
endeavor to imitate Your virtues, that I may one day share in Your glory.
Amen.
