I sprinkle holy water over the crown of my head as I enter the sacred heart of Our Lady of Lourdes Church
Breathing in peace and tranquility of this blessed church, lighting a few candles, I kneel at rose petaled feet of the Divine Mother
My Soul enters a heavenly portal I think of all Her suffering children and pray She alleviate their pain with voice cracking: "So many afflicted, in anguish, please help, have mercy"
Healing, gurgling fountains of Lourdes flows unceasing Misty visions drift through the quiet atmosphere
Rose of Sharon, His gentle hands outstretched appears and the soft face of His Mother swims towards me my tears mingle with the miraculous waters a garland of lotus blossoms floating on the Cosmic Sea
Hymns gush forth from my grateful heart echoing through the empty church:
"Joyful, joyful we adore Thee God of Glory, Lord of Love Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, opening to the Sun above"
