TLM at Lourdes

The sanctuary at Lourdes provides a TLM for the spiritual nourishment of many of the 5-6 million annual pilgrims.

Although note that the Mass doesn’t come without an episcopal wrist-slapping: it appears to be offered in the hospital chapel. (Photo sent by a priest currently on pilgrimage at the shrine.)

Our Lady of Lourdes Prayer for healing

O ever-Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy,

health of the sick, refuge of sinners,

comforter of the afflicted,

you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings;

look with mercy on me.

By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes,

you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary,

whence you dispense your favours;

and already many sufferers have obtained

the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal.

I come, therefore, with complete confidence

to implore your maternal intercession.

Obtain, O loving Mother, the grant of my requests.

(mention your petition)

Through gratitude for your favours,

I will endeavour to imitate your virtues,

that I may one day share your glory,

and bless you in eternity. Amen

Ave Maria de Lourdes, ora pro nobis.
