The Litany of Our Lady of Lourdes
(For private use only.)
|
Lord, have mercy on us. Christ, have mercy on us. Lord, have mercy on us. Christ, hear us. Christ, graciously hear us. God the Father of Heaven, have mercy on us. God the Son, Redeemer of the world, * God the Holy Spirit, * Holy Trinity, One God, * Exalted model of all mothers, Our Lady of Lourdes, ** Mother who did suffer so much, ** Mother poor and without shelter, ** Mother who did bear along forgotten roads the fruit of your womb, ** Who did find no other shelter for your Son and our God than a wild cave, and no other cradle than a manger, ** Who did declare, "I am the Immaculate Conception," ** Who did appear to a humble peasant girl in order to teach us humility, ** Who was clad in a white robe to remind us of purity, ** Who did wear a girdle of blue to remind us of heaven, ** Who did tread on a rosebush to remind us of the sufferings we must endure in order to merit heaven, ** |
Who did carry the rosary to induce us to pray, ** Who had your hands joined and your eyes raised to heaven to draw us to penance, ** Who is the Star of Hope, ** Who prays to the Sacred Heart of Jesus for us, ** Who gives strength to the clergy, ** Who heals the sick, ** Who is the health of the weak, ** Refuge of sinners, ** Comforter of the afflicted, ** Our Lady of Lourdes, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you. Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, spare us, O Lord. Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, graciously hear us, O Lord. Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Pray for us, Our Lady of Lourdes, Holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. * Have mercy on us. ** Pray for us.

Let us pray Our Lady of Lourdes, so fruitful in miracles, protect, with that hand which nothing can resist, our Holy Father the Pope. Infuse into us the spirit of faith, hope and charity. We all believe the truth of your apparitions, and the unlimited power with which your Divine Son has armed you. Hence it is that we have recourse to you. Amen. |
