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