This prayer is the beating heart of the “Family of Our Lady of Lourdes”. It takes up the essential themes of the apparitions: the beauty of Mary, the light of the Grotto, and the source of living water. It is a prayer for today’s pilgrims who seek to say “Yes” like Mary and serve their brothers and sisters with humility. A magnificent invocation to recite in union with the Sanctuary.
Prayer Text
Blessed be you, God our Father, for having created Mary so beautiful, and for having given her to us as Mother at the foot of the Cross of Jesus. Blessed be You for having called us, like Bernadette, to see Mary in your light and to drink from the source of your Heart. Mary, you know the misery and the sins of our lives and of the life of the world. We want to entrust ourselves to you today totally and without reserve; From you we will be born again each day by the power of the Spirit, We will live the life of Jesus as little servants of our brothers and sisters. Teach us, Mary, to carry the life of the Lord. Teach us the ‘yes’ of your heart.
