Invocations to Our Lady of Lourdes

Our Lady of Lourdes
Our Lady of Lourdes

O EVER Immaculate Virgin, Mother of mercy, health of the sick, refuge of sinners, comfort of the afflicted, you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings; deign to cast upon me a look of mercy. By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes, thou wert pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary, whence thou dispenses thy favors, and already many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal. I come, therefore, with unbounded confidence, to implore thy maternal intercession. Obtain, O loving Mother, the grant of my requests. I will endeavor to imitate thy virtues, that I may one day share thy glory, and bless thee in eternity. Amen.

O MARY, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

O BLESSED be the Holy and Immaculate Conception of the most blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God.

HOLY Virgin Mary Immaculate, Mother of God and our Mother,
speak thou for us to the Heart of Jesus, Who is thy Son and our Brother.

OUR Lady of Lourdes, pray for us!

MY Mother, deliver me from mortal sin!
Haily Mary 3 times.


St. Maximilian Kolbe Prayer of Consecration

Mary Immaculate
The Immaculate Conception by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, 1767-1769, in the Museo del Prado, Spain.

An Invocation: O Immaculata, Queen of heaven and earth, refuge of sinners and our most loving Mother, God has willed to entrust the entire order of mercy to you.

A Petition: I, N…, a repentant sinner, cast myself at your feet humbly imploring you to take me with all that I am and have, wholly to yourself as your possession and property. Please make of me, of all my powers of soul and body, of my whole life, death and eternity, whatever most pleases you.

An Entreaty (act of consecration): If it pleases you, use all that I am and have without reserve, wholly to accomplish what was said of you: “She will crush your head,” and, “You alone have destroyed all heresies in the world.” Let me be a fit instrument in your immaculate and merciful hands for introducing and increasing your glory to the maximum in all the many strayed and indifferent souls, and thus help extend as far as possible the blessed kingdom of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. For wherever you enter you obtain the grace of conversion and growth in holiness, since it is through your hands that all graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Dignare me laudare te, Virgó Sacráta.
Grant that I may praise thee, O most Sacred Virgin!

Da mihi virtutem contra hostes tuos!
Give me strength against thy enemies!
