Dear Friend,
Have you, or someone you know, experienced job loss? Are you concerned about your future in retirement? Are you suffering from a physical ailment like arthritis or cancer? More than ever, we all need healing of one kind or another. The world – with all its turmoil and stresses –
needs healing.
Today I want to offer you the opportunity to present your healing needs to God and
Our Lady of Lourdes. To receive your complimentary bottle of Lourdes water and to have your special intentions prayed for at the Sacred Grotto in Lourdes, just follow these simple steps:
- Send me your prayer intentions. My fellow Missionary Oblates and I will keep you and your loved ones in our prayers for a whole year. You will be prayed for each month at the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes, as well as at two very special Mass Novenas celebrated September 29 through October 7: one at the Basilica in Lourdes, and the other at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville, Illinois.
- Request your complimentary bottle of Lourdes water.
- Choose a Lourdes devotional gift. You may also have a Memorial placed in honor of a loved one here at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows.
- Include a generous Lourdes donation. Your support will benefit the Missionary Oblates as we serve the poorest of the poor throughout the world.
In gracious thanks for your support, my fellow Oblates and I will continue to remember
you in our daily prayers. May God bless you.
 In the love of Our Lady of Lourdes,
Fr. John Madigan, O.M.I.
Oblate Director
P.S. For your donation of $50 or more, a Lourdes Healing Candle will be lit for you and your special intentions at the Basilica in Lourdes, France. For your donation of $25 or more, you can have a Healing Candle lit at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville, Illinois.
