It’s just over 9 days now until our Lourdes pilgrimage. A helpful way to keep calm during all the preparation to get ready for travel, is a novena prayer. Here’s a great little one that is simple and can be prayed each day now until we go.
O God,
Who by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary prepared a worthy habitation for Your Son;
grant we humbly ask You, that we who shall visit the grotto where she appeared to Saint Bernadette,
may obtain health both of soul and body, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Saint Bernadette, pray for us.
