A Virgin A Day: Mother of Perpetual Help



Mother of Perpetual Help, 
you have been blessed and favored by God. 
You became not only the Mother of the Redeemer, 
but Mother of the redeemed as well. 
We come to you today as your loving children. 
Watch over us and take care of us. 
As you held the child Jesus in your loving arms, 
so take us in your arms. 
Be a mother ready at every moment to help us. 
For God who is mighty has done great things for you, 
and God's mercy is from age to age 
on those who love God. 
Intercede for us, dear Mother, 
in obtaining pardon for our sins, 
love for Jesus, 
final perseverance, 
and the grace always to call upon you, 
Mother of Perpetual Help.

I couldn't help but smile about the Mother of Perpetual Help. She reminds me of the mythical Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility, the Catholic church in Lake Wobegon of "A Prairie Home Companion" fame.

Mother of Perpetual Help...it is comforting and grounding
and my work is infused with prayer.

your comment made me smile. I never heard any broadcasts, but my cousin would share about some.

Lisa, that sounds so soothing. I light a candle when I'm praying. It makes for a warm ambience.

You know you're right!

I too love the green of this icon of Mary... and your words are encouraging. It is good to know that Mary is there to help us, whenever we take the time to remember her and ask... thank you Nonnie.

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o
