PopeJohn Paul II's Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes 
 

Hail Mary, woman of faith, First of the disciples!
Virgin Mother of the Church, help us always
To account for the hope that is in us,
With trust in human goodness and the Father’s love.
Teach us to build up the world beginning from within:
In the depths of silence and prayer,
In the joy of fraternal love,
In the unique fruitfulness of the Cross.
