Prayer Of Pope Pius Xii Obedient To The Invitation

Responding to your loving call, O Immaculate Virgin of Lourdes, we come swiftly to your feet at the sacred grotto, where you revealed the path of prayer and penance for those lost. You generously bestow the gifts and miracles of your boundless goodness upon the ailing. O benevolent Queen, accept the tribute and requests that nations and peoples, trapped in difficult times, sincerely bring to you. O shining image of Heaven, illuminate our minds, dispelling the shadows of falsehood with the brilliance of faith! O mystical rose garden, soothe the sorrowful hearts of your people with the sweet fragrance of hope! O unfailing source of healing waters, rejuvenate the parched hearts with the torrents of divine love. Grant us, your beloved children, comfort in our grief, safety in peril, and strength in our battles! Let our love and service towards your beloved Son Jesus be such that we may attain everlasting joy at your heavenly throne.Amen.
