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.
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.
