Our Mother of Perpetual Help

June 27, 2022

Pope Pius IX first established this feast day to commemorate the coronation of the miraculous image of Our Mother of Perpetual Help.  This picture is painted on wood, with background of gold. It is Byzantine in style and is the most famous icon in the Latin Church.   It represents the Mother of God consoling the Divine Child while the Archangels Michael and Gabriel present before Him the instruments of His Passion. Over the figures in the picture are some Greek letters, which form the abbreviated words Mother of God, Jesus Christ, Archangel Michael, and Archangel Gabriel respectively.

 

 

O Lord Jesus Christ, Who
gave us Thy Mother Mary,
whose renowned image we
venerate, to be a Mother
ever ready to help us,
grant we beseech Thee,
that we who constantly
implore her motherly aid,
may merit to enjoy perpetually
the fruits of Thy redemption.
Who lives and reigns
forever and ever.  Amen.

Mother of Perpetual Help,
Pray for us!
