Special Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes to be recited during the centenary of the Marian apparitions, composed by His Holiness, Pope Pius XII, with special indulgences. Heeding your voice, O Immaculate Virgin of Lourdes, we hasten to your feet at the humble grotto where you deigned to appear to show the way of prayer and penitence to those astray, and to dispense to the stricken the graces and wonders of your unsurpassed kindness. Receive, O Merciful Queen, the praise and supplications which peoples and nations, oppressed by bitterness and anxiety, trustfully raise to you. 0 fair vision of paradise, banish the darkness of error from our minds with the light of faith! O Mystical Rose, relieve crushed souls with the heavenly fragrance of hope! O inexhaustible source of healing waters, revive barren hearts with the How of divine love! Grant that all of us, your sons and daughters, comforted by you in our sorrows, protected in our danger and aided in our struggles, may love and serve your gentle Jesus, and merit etemal happiness near your heavenly throne. tAn indulgence of three years.J Our Lady of Lourdes, Pray for us. i300 Days Ind., Rac. 2961
