3 Holy
Masses Our Lady of Prompt Succor, Jan 13-14. Submit
intentions now!
Dear Friend,
When you love someone, you have a
desire to feel close to them and want to know more about their life.
Many of you have a deep love for the Blessed Virgin Mary and feel near
to her when praying the Holy Rosary.
Have you heard of Our Lady of
Prompt Succor? If you live or have traveled to the deep south, you may
already have said prayers to Mary, under this title. “Prompt Succor”
means “quick help” – Mary comes quickly and takes care of any
situation! The National Votive Shrine is located in New Orleans,
Louisiana. Pope Pius IX authorized public devotion to Mary, under
this title, in 1851. In 1894, Pope Leo XII approved the Canonical
Coronation of the image. The gold and precious stones on the crowns of
Jesus and Mary were donated by the people of New Orleans. The
veneration and honor are due to the two miracles through the
intercession of Our Lady of Prompt Succor that took place in 1812,
when a terrible fire that raged through New Orleans spared the convent
and in 1815, when the Battle of New Orleans was won.
Today, January 8, in Louisiana, the
feast day of Our Lady of Prompt Succor is celebrated. However,
Cardinal Burke follows the Traditional Calendar of the Roman Catholic
Church; the Traditional Feast of Our Lady of Prompt Succor is January
15. Please submit
your intentions for the Three Holy Masses, invoking the aid of Our
Lady of Prompt Succor on January 13, 14 and the Feast Day on January
15.
Devotees have invoked Our Lady of
Prompt Succor in every necessity, including:
- protection against evil
- protection against every accident
- quick
help with financial difficulties, desperate medical situations, as
well as all who are ill
- the
conversion of family members and loved ones
- protection while traveling
- protection against floods, fires, lightening and
tempest
- graces
for those searching for the faith
- protection against the enemies of our country
Please join me in invoking Our Lady
of Prompt Succor, who is full of kindness and a haven of safety, to
all who cry out for “quick help.”
Embracing the graces of Our Lady of
Prompt Succor,
