The novena prayer (from 30 th November to 8 th December)

Blessed Virgin Mary, at your school, Bernadette entered into
a relationship with the Holy Trinity through the sign of the Cross.
By teaching her prayer and penance for sinners,
you conveyed to her the joy of salvation.
You revealed to her the beauty of your pure heart when you said,
“I am the Immaculate Conception”.
With Bernadette, we turn to you trusting completely
in your maternal intercession.
Accept the intentions of our hearts in this novena
of prayer (especially for…)
Our Lady of Lourdes,
We pray to you especially for our own conversion and that of all sinners.
Also, watch over all those who suffer in body or soul.
In the hope that Life will triumph over death, from this moment
and for ever more, we want to sing with you the glory
of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen!
