Below is a novena to Our Lady of Lourdes that can be prayed for nine consecutive days for the healing of a friend or family member, or perhaps your own personal physical and spiritual healing.

Prayer to the Virgin of Lourdes

Blessed are you, oh most pure Virgin,
for having wanted to manifest your radiance of life, sweetness and beauty, in the Grotto of Lourdes,
telling the little girl Saint Bernadette: “I am the Immaculate Conception.”
We congratulate you a thousand times on your Immaculate Conception.
And now, oh always Immaculate Virgin,
Mother of mercy,
Health of the sick,
Refuge of sinners,
Comforter of the afflicted,
You know our needs, our concerns, our sufferings.
Give us a look of mercy.

Appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes,
you wanted to turn it into a privileged sanctuary from which you give your favors,
and many have already obtained healing from their illnesses, both spiritual and physical.
We come, therefore, with the most unlimited confidence to ask for your maternal intercession.
Obtain for us, oh loving Mother, the fulfillment of our request.

(indicate your request)

Through gratitude for your favors,
We will strive to imitate your virtues,
so that one day we can share your glory.

Our Lady of Lourdes, Mother of Christ,
you had influence with your divine son while you were on earth
and you have the same influence now in heaven.
Pray for us; obtain for us from your Divine Son our special requests if it is the will of God.
Amen.
