REFLECTION:

Christ, our Lord,
learned to say the psalms at His mother's knee in Nazareth.
As He hung in His agony on the cross for Love of us,
the same prayers sprung spontaneously to His lips.
In your moment of pain,
you become one with the suffering Christ.

PETITION:

Our Lady of Lourdes,
your motherly concern has won the miracle
of restored health for many persons.
Please assist me now
through your unique power with your divine Son
whose agony you shared so closely on Calvary.
Help me to ask God's aid in the words
He will recognize as His Son's own prayer,
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
(Ps 22:2)
 

God's Word and Practice
 

GOD'S WORD:

"Out of the depths,
I cry to you, O Lord;
Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your Ears be attentive to my voice in supplication."
(Ps 130:1-2)

PRACTICE:

God knows how difficult it is to be patient while in pain.
Jesus Christ learned this lesson as He was nailed to His cross.
That is why you can be sure He will hear you now in your great pain.
 

Night Prayer

Jesus Christ my God,
I adore You and thank You
for all the graces You gave me this day.
I offer You my sleep and all the moments of this night,
and I beseech You to keep me without sin.
Wherefore, I put myself within Your sacred Side
and under the mantle of our Lady, my Mother.
Let Your Holy Angels stand about me and keep me in peace;
and let Your blessing be upon me. Amen.
