This is the prayer from Lourdes, France, for the Immaculate Conception novena.
Novena Prayer for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, December 8th
Immaculate Virgin Mary, you were pleasing in the sight of God from the first moment of your conception in the womb of your mother, St. Anne. You were chosen to be the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I believe the teaching of Holy Mother Church, that in the first instant of your conception, by the singular grace and privilege of Almighty God, in virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of humanity and beloved Son, you were preserved from all stain of original sin. I thank God for this wonderful privilege and grace that He bestowed upon you as I honor your Immaculate Conception.
*Look graciously upon me as I implore this special favor: *(mention your request).

- Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God and my Mother, from your throne in heaven, turn your eyes of pity upon me. Filled with confidence in your goodness and power, I beg you to help me in this journey of life, which is so full of dangers for my soul. I entrust myself entirely to you, that I may never be the slave of the devil through sin, but always live a humble and pure life. I consecrate myself to you forever, for my only desire is to love your divine Son, Jesus. Immaculate Virgin Mary, since none of your devout servants has perished, may I, too, be saved. Amen.*
- Each day, pray a decade of the Rosary, followed by three invocations: «O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.»
- Receive Holy Communion on December 8th, or a day of the octave.
- Confession is recommended.
