Bouquet of Flowers at Our Lady of Lourdes

A bouquet of 5 different flowers according to the season.

Placing a bouquet of flowers at Our Lady of Lourdes is a gesture of profound gratitude and thanksgiving. The flowers, symbols of beauty and purity, embody our gratitude for the graces we have received, the answered prayers and the blessings we have been showered with. They show our desire to pay homage to the Virgin Mary, who, through her intercession, accompanies us in our trials, our joys and our hopes.

Offering these flowers is a simple act, but one that has spiritual meaning. Each flower placed at the foot of Our Lady is a way of saying thank you for invisible support, healing, protection or the little miracles of everyday life. By laying this bouquet, we acknowledge that we are not alone, that Mary watches over us with tenderness, and we give thanks for her maternal and benevolent presence in our lives.

It is also an offering that expresses the beauty of the link between heaven and earth, between the divine and the human. In return, we ask Mary to continue to guide us, to intercede for us with God, and to keep our hearts open to faith, love and hope.

In short, this bouquet is a silent but eloquent testimony of our deep gratitude, a gesture of love and offering in honour of Our Lady of Lourdes, in thanksgiving for the blessings we have received and for those to come.
