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. In 2022, I want to share information on the various titles given to the Mother of God, including the background and prayers, as well as initiating prayer events, along with holy masses that will take place throughout the year.  

Let us begin with 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.

As you know, 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. 

Do you have any urgent petitions where immediate help is needed?

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 and to 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.”

Yours in Jesus and Mary,

Thomas McKenna
