Our Lady of Lourdes Novena, Day 2

Hey Everyone. Sorry this is late in coming today -- I had a really long day of treatment, starting with blood tests around 9 am, a blood transfusion because my red cell count was low again, and then my usual round of chemo. I'll provide a more extensive health update tomorrow. For now, though, let me get the second day of prayers for this Novena posted...while hoping that perhaps many of you may have found another source from which to continue (I'm pulling this from the EWTN web-page, after-all) for the day.

Start with the opening prayer provided in the Day 1 post here. Continue with the Day 2 prayer as follows:

Be blessed O most pure Virgin, for having vouchsafed to manifest yourself, shining with light, sweetness, and beauty in the grotto of Lourdes, saying to the child St. Bernadette, "I am the Immaculate Conception!" O Mary Immaculate, inflame our hearts, with one ray of the burning of your pure heart. Let them be consumed with love for Jesus and for you, in order that we may merit one day to enjoy your glorious eternity. O dispenser of His graces here below, take into your keeping and present to your Divine Son the petition for which we are making this novena -- my cure from cancer.

O brilliant star of purity, Mary Immaculate, Our Lady of Lourdes, glorious in your assumption, triumphant in your coronation, show unto us the mercy of the Mother of God. Virgin Mary, Queen and Mother, be our comfort, hope, strength, and consolation. Amen.

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
St. Bernadette, pray for us.
