- Prayers for
- the conversion of sinners, patience
Albrecht Dürer, The Virgin with a Starry Crown, 1508. Cleveland Museum of Art.
“I am the Immaculate Conception.”
O IMMACULATE Virgin, most pure Mother of God, model of all sweetness, hasten to the aid of thy wretched children; convert those who sin. give courage and patience to those who suffer. O most sweet, tender and holy Virgin, Queen of Lourdes, hear the cry of our misery and trouble—listen to the whisperings of thy maternal compassion and mercy whilst we cry: Merciful Lady of Lourdes, pray for us. Thou art our Mother—bequeathed to us from the cross, come therefore to our aid; come and cure us, covered as we are with the leprosy of sin. Humbly prostrate at thy feet, we consecrate ourselves to thee, O Lady of Lourdes—to thee we confide the direction of our lives. Be henceforward our hope and our strength, our consolation and our support—our joy and our love. And when we are about to appear before our Almighty Judge, may we repeat with our dying lips: Immaculate Mother, Queen of Lourdes, pray for us.
