O Holy Mother, in the years
following your appearance at Lourdes,
do not forget the sorrows of this earth.
Cast a merciful glance upon those
who are suffering, struggling against difficulties,
with their lips constantly pressed
against life’s bitter cup.
Have pity on those who love each other
and are separated.
Have pity on our rebellious hearts.
Have pity on our weak faith.
Have pity on those who weep,
on those who pray, on those who fear.
Grant hope and peace to all.
Amen.
