The icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is prevalent all over the world in countless parishes, and it has been the site of miracles. In this image Jesus, still a child being held by his mother, sees the instruments of his passion, clearly showing that he already knew of this. Mary in this image looks not at Jesus, but at us. In the course of its story it may have vanished for good, but always returned to the people by divine providence. One time a family tried to secrete it in their home, but then were rebuked for this by supernatural visions, another time in the Nineteenth Century an army destroyed its church and, it seemed, this image, but by divine providence, it was found fifty years later.
 
Such a beautiful story 🙂 Our Lady of Perpetual Help. pray for us!
 
O MOTHER OF PERPETUAL HELP, grant that I may ever invoke Thy most powerful name, which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying. O Purest Mary, O Sweetest Mary, let Thy name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, O Blessed Lady, to help me whenever I call on Thee, for, in all my temptations, in all my needs, I shall never cease to call on Thee, ever repeating Thy sacred name, Mary, Mary. O what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence, what emotion fill my soul when I utter Thy sacred name, or even only think of Thee. I thank God for having given Thee, for my good, so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely uttering Thy name; let my hope for Thee prompt me ever to hail Thee,
MOTHER OF PERPETUAL HELP.
