Name of Group: Our Lady of Lourdes Devotional Group
Intent: To promote the sanctification of the laymen and -women of Suscipe Domine forum and to pray for their needs and intentions, typically shown but not reserved to the intentions in the Prayer Subforum.
Structure: The Group will be a loosely-organized association of the voluntary members at Suscipe Domine. The leader is Kaesekopf, Administrator of the Forum. Members will be listed in a separate thread in the Subforum and will need to post their request to be added in the Membership thread (http://www.suscipedomine.com/forum/index.php?topic=12800.0).
Patrons: The Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of the Immaculate Conception and Our Lady of Lourdes.
Obligations:
- Weekly - To pray the Hail Mary 3x for the intentions of the admin, mods, and posters of Suscipe Domine.
- Monthly - To pray one decade of the rosary for the intentions of the same (this obligation can be be joined with the praying of the rosary for any other intention).
- Annually - 1) Make a visit to a Lourdes shrine/grotto and pray for the intentions of the admins, mods, and posters of Suscipe Domine (ideally to be make on or around the feast of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, Dec 8, or the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, Feb 11). 2) To join in the praying of a Novena to Our Lady of Lourdes from Feb 2-10. Note: If a member is unable to easily or reasonably visit a Lourdes shrine/grotto, then the member can replace that by a visit to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament around Dec 8 or Feb 11 (which can be joined or in addition to attendance at the nearest Sunday Mass). None of the obligations bind under pain of sin. Also, obligations are on members of the Devotional Group, not on the general membership of the Forum.
Novena to be prayed (https://www.ewtn.com/Devotionals/novena/OL_lourdes_short.htm)
O ever Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, Health of the Sick, Refuge of Sinners, Comfort to the Afflicted, you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings. Deign to cast upon me a look of mercy. By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes, you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary, whence you dispense your favors; and already many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal. I come, therefore, with the most unbounded confidence to implore your maternal intercession. Obtain, O loving Mother, the granting of my requests. Through gratitude for favors, I will endeavor to imitate your virtues that I may one day share your glory.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us. Amen.
(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.)
this sounds like a great idea
i can't travel to visit shrines but does it count that i married an Italian and our house has mini shrines even the fridge is a shrine
We (here in St Marys) have a Lourdes Groto right on campus.
So this will be a no brainer for a no brainer like me!

Sure!
What a wonderfully Catholic idea! I love it! Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us!
Sign me in as a group member. Those obligations I can handle well, I think.

Me, too.
Excellent! I recently received a bottle of water from Lourdes, from a man at church who is incredibly devoted to Our Lady. He loves to tell about how she was instrumental to his conversion from Protestantism.

Should I add you, then? :P
Nevermind. I have an inefficient signup system! :lol:
I am fortunate in that my parish has a Mary Grotto. Please sign me up.
I lit a candle for us this evening, in front of Our Lady's statue at Church. So, please let Her know of any intentions you may have.
Thank you, MCM!

You are very welcome!
Count me a member.
I'm also signing up my sister, Ann; as she would kill me if she found out that I was a member of a prayer group and I hadn't signed her up (she doesn't like me to get "ahead" of her). & My Mom too.
Membership updated! Sorry for dropping the ball. I listed your mother as MW's Mother, MW. :lol:
As a reminder, our novena starts next Tuesday!
I'll make a new thread on Monday, and remind people on Tuesday morning! :)
I will also offer this novena prayer as an option, for those who wish to use it.
February 2nd-11th
Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes
O Mary Immaculate, Our Lady of Lourdes, we kneel before you as did little Bernadette at Lourdes and pray with childlike trust in you that as we contemplate your glorious appearance at Lourdes, you will look with mercy on our present petition and secure for us a favorable answer to the request for which we are making this novena. (make your request)
Our Lady of Lourdes, 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.
Saint Bernadette, pray for us

I'll try to mass-PM y'all come Tuesday morning.
I'd like to be removed from this list. Specific focus on the members of this forum is now unavoidably detrimental to my well being. I'll pray for your salvation when I pray for all people. This way the effects of your abuses and the necessity of my personal (personally chosen) obligation of redemptive suffering on your behalf will be lessened, and more efficient.
If at all possible I would also like my account removed.
Thank you.
I too, would like to join. Blessings

Just wanted to remind everyone that today is the Feast of the Apparition of Our Lady of Lourdes.

And as an FYI, nmoerbeek's wife is due shortly to give birth to a little girl they will be naming Marie, with the hopes that she will be born on this Feast day. Maybe say a little prayer for baby and Mom.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us. :pray3:
Thank you for the reminder, miss beats me to it! ;)

And it's a Saturday, too! How fitting! :)
Please, add me as a member! I think I can manage this.
One thing though- where I am currently living there is a small church, but no Lourdes/Mary shrine. Is it ok if the shrine is in my own home, with a picture of Our Lady, a crucifix, flowers, candle and Lourdes water???
Peace :)
