6/27 Feast Day of Our Mother of Perpetual Help

Our Lady of Perpetual Help – “I am Our Lady of Perpetual Help. I will Help you Always.” (Our Lady of Perpetual Help Appeared to Sister Mary Ephrem; these are Our Lady’s Words that Sister Mary Ephrem wrote to Rev. Leibold in a letter dated 3/57)

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 needs, in all my temptations 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 pronounce 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 pronouncing thy name: let my love for thee prompt me ever to hail Thee, Mother of Perpetual Help.
