Stimu- late our devotion through Your image vvhich fills the campus with a divine serenity. Inspire us to lead a more prayerful life through the examples por- trayed in Our Lady's shrines. Infuse into our souls, O Sacred Heart, a desire to imitate the pious efforts of Bernadette whom Our Lady so honored at Lourdes. Help us especially in this Year, O Lord, to be more sincere in our heavenly peti- tions, thus increasing our de- votion to Our Lady. Finally, may the influence of Your Sa- cred Heart ever motivate a more perfect communication loetvveen us and Your Blessed Mother. The Lourdes grotto exists as a monumental remembrance of Our Lady's Apparition to Bernadette at Lourdes, especially during this year, the centennial anniversary of her appearance. This campus scene actually invites the Spirit of A.H.A. to descend upon our hearts.
