Novena to our Lady of Lourdes ( Feast February 11 ) ~ Day 1 ~
DAY ONE
O Mary Immaculate, Our Lady of Lourdes, Virgin and mother, Queen of Heaven, chosen from all eternity to be the Mother of the Eternal Word and in virtue of this title preserved from original sin, we kneel before thee as did little Bernadette at Lourdes and pray with childlike trust in thee that as we contemplate thy glorious appearance at Lourdes, that thou will look with mercy on our present petition and secure for us a favorable answer to the request for which we are making this novena.
(here our humble prayer intention )
O Brilliant star of purity, Mary Immaculate, Our Lady of Lourdes, glorious in thy Assumption, triumphant in thy Coronation, show unto us the mercy of the Holy Mother of God .
Virgin Mary, Queen and Mother, be our comfort, hope, strength, and consolation. Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us. Amen
Saint Bernadette, pray for us. Amen
Eternal Father, I offer You the most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus Christ , in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the Universal Church, for those in my own home and in my family. Amen
WEAR THE GARMENT OF GRACE ~~ BROWN SCAPULAR ~~
O Mary, Queen and Mother of Carmel, I come today to consecrate myself to thee, for my whole life is but a small return for the many graces and blessings that have come from God to me through thy immaculate hands.
Since thou look with special kindness on those who wear thy Scapular, I implore thee to strengthen my weakness with thy power, to enlighten the darkness of my mind with thy wisdom, and to increase in me Faith, Hope and Charity that I may repay each day my debt of humble homage to thee.
May thy Holy Scapular bring me thy special protection in my daily struggle to be faithful to thy Divine Son and to thee. May it separate me from all that is sinful in life and remind me constantly of my duty to imitate thy virtues.
From now on, I shall strive to live in God's Presence, and offer all to Jesus through thee. Dearest Holy Mother, support me by thy never-failing love and lead me to paradise through the merits of Christ and thy own intercession. Amen.
