The healing of the sick holds a place deeply rooted in Marian devotion. This devotion arises from the understanding of Mary as a merciful Mother and intercessor, close to human suffering and especially compassionate toward those who endure physical or spiritual illness. This is grounded in the practice of asking the Blessed Virgin Mary for her intercession before Christ. The episode of the Wedding at Cana (John 2:1-11) is considered the most important spiritual foundation: Mary perceives the human need (They have no wine) and presents the petition to her Son, bringing about the first miracle.

Over the centuries, numerous Marian titles arose that are associated specifically with the healing of the sick. Among the most influential is Our Lady of Lourdes, linked to the apparitions of 1858 in France, where since then thousands of testimonies of physical healings and spiritual conversions have been documented. In this tradition, saints and pastors have encouraged filial trust: Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori highlighted the special tenderness of her heart toward the weak; Saint Bernard of Clairvaux exhorted, Look to the star, call upon Mary; and Saint John Paul II, marked by illness, taught us to find consolation in the Mother amid pain.

Prayers to the Virgin Mary for the Healing of the Sick draws on these centuries of historical devotion to offer a collection of prayers inspired by Mary's life and maternal presence in the Gospel, to ask for healing, strength, and inner peace. With a healing novena focused on presenting one's need with simplicity and persevering day by day, as well as spaces to write down intentions, relevant biblical quotations, and traditional images of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this is a book meant to accompany the sick, family members, and caregivers-with words when strength fails and hope when the trial grows long.
