Our Lady of Lourdes Novena, Day 3

Getting a jump on things this morning, here's Day 3: first, of course, begin with the opening prayer of Day 1. Then continue here:
"You are all fair, O Mary, and there is in you no stain of original sin." O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. O brilliant star of sanctity, as on that lovely day, upon a rough rock in Lourdes you spoke to the child Bernadette, and a fountain broke from the plain earth, and miracles happened, and the great shrine of Lourdes was began, so now I beseech you to hear our fervent prayer and do, we beseech you, grant us the petition we now so earnestly seek -- my cure from cancer.

O brilliant star of purity, Mary Immaculate, Our Lady of Lourdes, glorious in your assumption, triumphant in your coronation, show 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.
