In this second moment of prayer, we turn to Mary as a compassionate Mother. At Lourdes, she showed herself to Bernadette not as distant, but close, sometimes saddened by our faults but always radiant. This mystery is one of confidence: it is the moment to place your burdens, your sicknesses, and your hopes on lourdes.live into the hands of the one who shared everything with her Son.
Prayer Text
Lord Jesus, you gave us Mary as our Mother. She shared in your Passion and Resurrection. Here in Lourdes she showed herself to Bernadette, saddened by our sins but radiant with your light. Through her, we entrust to you our joys, our sorrows, our hopes, those of the sick, the caregivers, and researchers, those of all people. Our Lady of Lourdes, our sister and our mother, our confidante and our support in trial, we pray to you. Our Father; 10 Hail Marys; Glory Be. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
