Be thou blessed, O most pure Virgin, who
didst deign to appear in the grotto of Lourdes as many as eighteen
times, resplendent with light, sweetness, and beauty, and to say to the
humble and simple child who contemplated thee in ecstasy, " I am the
Immaculate Conception!" be thou blessed for the extraordinary favors
which thou dost unceasingly scatter around this place.
By thy
maternal heart, O Mary, and by the glory which the holy Church has
rendered thee, we conjure thee to pray for the Sovereign Pontiff and for
Father [ name ] and to realize the hopes of peace which the
proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception excited in the
breasts of the faithful. Amen.

Father Price's Daily Prayer
O Mother Immaculate, Patron of America, who, through little Bernadette, bade us pray and work for the conversion of the countless souls now perishing. I offer all the prayers, actions, and sufferings of this day and every day of my life for their conversion, and I beg of thee to bless my resolution to do what I can throughout my life to bring about their salvation.
St. Bernadette, Pray for Father Price.
Imprimatur: Most Rev. Vincent S. Waters, D.D. May 2 1949
