On earth as It is in heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil, Amen.
For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory,
For ever and ever, Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee;
Blessed art thou amongst women,
And blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now,
And at the hour of our death, Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
World without end, Amen.
Prayer for the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes
"O Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Lourdes, Mother of tenderness and hope, you appeared to Saint Bernadette in humility and simplicity. You called all people to prayer and conversion.
Look kindly upon all who come to this grotto with troubled hearts, and desperate needs. We bring our quiet hopes and prayers before you; please intercede for us with Your Son, Jesus Christ..
Bring the sick to the healing Love of your Son. Comfort those who grieve. Strengthen those who struggle. Guide those who have lost their way.
Dear Mother Mary, please teach us to pray with faith. Help us to serve with compassion. Help us to forgive generously. Guide us to accept God's Will with trusting hearts. May we follow your example of obedience and love. May our discipleship help to guide others to Jesus, the Source of our salvation."
