For so many graces received, for all conversions, all forgiveness, all healings, for vocations and promises that you have confirmed or brought to birth here, for the joy of service that you give us to taste, and for the strength and hope that you put in our hearts in these troubled times.
Our Lady of Lourdes, help of Christians, we thank you.
Our Father; 10 Hail Marys; Glory Be.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
Lourdes is the land of miracles, but above all of healed hearts. This fourth mystery is a hymn of gratitude.
