Although never formally encouraged by the Church, the water of Lourdes has become a center of devotion to the Virgin Mary in Lourdes. Since the supposed apparitions, many people have claimed to have been cured by drinking or bathing in it, and the authorities in Lourdes provide it free of charge to anyone who requests it.
Each day of the novena begins with the next opening prayer of the novena to Our Lady of Lourdes, which you can also pray alone for nine days for a shorter version of the novena. We recall the many miracles that have taken place at the Grotto of Lourdes since the apparition of Our Lady in 1858, and we ask for her intercession for our own needs.
Virgin always immaculate, Mother of Mercy, Health of the sick, Refuge of sinners, Consolation of the afflicted, you know my needs, my sorrows, my sufferings. Look at me with mercy. When you appeared in the grotto of Lourdes, you made it a privileged sanctuary where you dispense your favors, and where many sick people obtained healing from their infirmities, both spiritual and bodily.

Saint Bernadette was a young girl collecting firewood in the French city of Lourdes with her sister and a friend when the Virgin Mary appeared to her and spoke to her. Notre-Dame appeared to Saint Bernadette a total of 18 times! During these apparitions, Bernadette asked her her name and Mary replied: “I am the Immaculate Conception. Another time, Our Lady told Bernadette where to dig to find a miraculous spring. And another time, Mary told Bernadette to build a church in the cave where she had appeared to her. The image of Mary in Lourdes is known as Our Lady of Lourdes, Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception and Our Lady of the Rosary. The water from the miraculous spring has healed and healed many people since then. Millions of pilgrims come to Lourdes to see the place where Mary appeared and to bathe at the source to be healed and blessed.
