Litany of Our Lady for Life - 40 Days for Life

Oh ever immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, Health of the Sick, Refuge of Sinners, Comfortess of the Afflicted, you know our wants, our troubles, our sufferings. Look upon us with mercy. When you appeared in the grotto of Lourdes, you made it a privileged sanctuary where you dispense your favors, and where many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal. We come, therefore, with unbounded confidence to implore your maternal intercession.

Our loving Mother, obtain our request for all those afflicted by abortion --
Our Lady of Lourdes, help of Christians; ** Pray for them
Our Lady of Lourdes, source of love; ** Pray for them
Our Lady of Lourdes, mother of the poor; ** Pray for them
Our Lady of Lourdes, mother of the handicapped; ** Pray for them
Our Lady of Lourdes, mother of orphans; ** Pray for them
Our Lady of Lourdes, mother of all children; ** Pray for them
Our Lady of Lourdes, mother of all nations; ** Pray for them
Our Lady of Lourdes, mother of the Church; ** Pray for them
Our Lady of Lourdes, friend of the lonely; ** Pray for them
Our Lady of Lourdes, comforter of those who mourn; ** Pray for them
Our Lady of Lourdes, shelter of the homeless; ** Pray for them
Our Lady of Lourdes, guide of travelers; ** Pray for them
Our Lady of Lourdes, strength of the weak; ** Pray for them
Our Lady of Lourdes, refuge of sinners; ** Pray for them
Our Lady of Lourdes, comforter of the suffering; ** Pray for them
Our Lady of Lourdes, help of the dying; ** Pray for them

Blessed Virgin Mary, who can worthily repay you with praise and thanks for having rescued a fallen world by your generous consent! Receive our gratitude, and by your prayers obtain the pardon of our sins. Take our prayers into the sanctuary of heaven and enable them to make our peace with God. Amen.
