With all our human brothers and sisters, with peoples in need of peace and justice, with young people seeking their way, you who showed yourself so young to young Bernadette, with victims of illness, disability, failure, with those who might have reason to despair and those who mourn a loved one.
And for those who have been carried away by illness.
Our Lady of Lourdes, we pray to you!
Our Father; 10 Hail Marys; Glory Be.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
The last mystery of this series opens our hearts to the dimensions of the world. Just as Mary looked at Bernadette with tenderness, we pray here for all of humanity.
