Day Two – Novena to Our Lady of Lourdes February 3rd

Morning Prayer with Br Michael Moore OMI

Friends, on day two of our Lourdes Novena, we join Br Michael Moore OMI for our morning prayer and reflection. As part of our morning prayer, Br Michael reflects on the Visitation of Mary to her cousin Elizabeth.

“In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country, ⁴⁰ where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.”

Join us in saying the Novena prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes:

O Mary, who appeared to Bernadette in the hollow of a rock, in the depths of winter, you brought the warmth of a presence, the friendship of a smile, the light of  grace.

In the depths of our lives so often insecure in the hollow of the world where there is evil, bring us hope and restore our confidence.

You who said to Bernadette, I am the Immaculate Conception, come to help us sinners. Give us the courage of conversion, the humility of penance and the perseverance of prayer.

We entrust to you who are our Lady of Good Help, all whom we carry in our hearts and our prayer, especially those who are sick and all those who have lost hope. You who guided Bernadette to discover the stream,

Guide us to your Son who is the source of eternal life who gives us the gift of the Holy Spirit, which helps us to call God, our Father.

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.

Saint Bernadette, pray for us.

O Mary, conceived without sin,
Pray for us who have recourse to thee.
