Our Lady of Lourdes

MARK 7:31-37 (Genesis 3:1-8; Psalm 32)

February 11  Our Lady of Lourdes 

Mass Introduction

Our Lady of Lourdes is a favourite feast day.

A Saint knows a Saint.

A miracle knows a miracle.

Soubirous knows Labouré.
Lourdes - Miraculous Medal

Saint Bernadette, the poor and ignorant, as was said, could pray the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Creed. She also knew the prayer of the Miraculous Medal: “O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us, who have recourse the thee.”

In the Penitential Rite as in each Mass, an appropriate and sweeter expression may be, “O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us”.

May we be helped by Mary conceived without sin.
