Our Lady of Perpetual Help: A Mother Who Never Fails Us

“Never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection... was left unaided.”

These words from the traditional prayer to Our Lady reflect the deep love and trust Catholics have placed in her over the centuries—especially under the beloved title of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

The Story Behind the Icon

The image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is one of the most well-known Marian icons in the Catholic world, especially in the Philippines. This icon, which originated in Crete and now resides in the Church of St. Alphonsus Liguori in Rome, depicts the Virgin Mary holding the child Jesus while two angels present the instruments of His Passion.

But what makes this image so powerful is not only its artistic beauty—but its spiritual message.

Mary is shown looking not at Jesus, but at us—her eyes filled with compassion, concern, and deep maternal love. She holds Jesus firmly, reminding us that just as she cared for Him, she also watches over us in all our fears, trials, and sufferings.

A Beloved Devotion in the Philippines

Filipino Catholics are particularly devoted to Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Every Wednesday, churches across the country are filled with people praying the Perpetual Novena—a practice that began at Baclaran Church in Parañaque and has since spread nationwide.

Thousands flock to her shrine each week not only to ask for help but to thank her for answered prayers, healings, restored relationships, and countless blessings.

Why Wednesdays? Because Wednesday has traditionally been dedicated to St. Joseph and Our Lady in various local devotions. But in the Philippines, it has become "Baclaran Day"—a day uniquely hers.

Why She is Called “Perpetual Help”

The title "Perpetual Help" reminds us that Mary’s intercession doesn’t run out. She is not just our help sometimes, or when it’s convenient. She is our help always—in sickness and in health, in trials and joys, in fear and in peace.

She is the mother who is never too busy, never distracted, never forgets her children.

When we cannot find the strength to pray, she prays for us.

When we don’t know what to do, she guides us.

When we fall, she gently lifts us up again.

A Mother Close to Our Wounds

Many of us turn to her when we are hurting—whether from illness, heartbreak, anxiety, or loss. She knows our pain because she suffered with her Son. The icon reminds us: she does not run from suffering—she meets us in it.

She is perpetual help because she draws us closer to Jesus, the source of all healing, all peace, all grace.

🙏 A Short Prayer to Our Lady of Perpetual Help

O Mother of Perpetual Help,

we come to you with hearts full of trust and love.

You know our needs, our sorrows, our joys.

Pray for us to your Son, Jesus, that we may have strength in trials,

peace in our homes, healing in our bodies,

and hope in every difficulty we face.

Never let us be parted from your motherly care. Amen.

Let us never forget: we are never alone. We have a mother—our Lady of Perpetual Help—always near, always ready to lift us up to her Son.

OUR LADY OF FATIMA: A MESSAGE OF PEACE, PRAYER, AND CONVERSION

Our Lady of Fatima: A Message of Peace, Prayer, and Conversion

On May 13, 1917, in the small village of Fatima, Portugal, three shepherd children—Lucia dos Santos and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto—experienced a series of extraordinary events that would echo through the Catholic world and beyond. Appearing to them was a radiant lady "brighter than the sun," who would later identify herself as Our Lady of the Rosary, now venerated as Our Lady of Fatima. Over the course of six monthly apparitions, from May to October 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary delivered messages that remain as urgent and relevant today as they were over a century ago.

The Apparitions and the Visionaries

Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta were simple, humble children who spent their days tending sheep. On that spring day in May, they saw a beautiful lady who asked them to return on the 13th of each month for six months. She promised to reveal her identity and her purpose in time.

As the apparitions continued, more and more pilgrims began gathering at the Cova da Iria, the site of the visions. On October 13, 1917, an estimated 70,000 people witnessed the Miracle of the Sun, where the sun appeared to dance in the sky, spinning and emitting multicolored light, then plunging toward the earth before returning to its place. This miracle, foretold by Our Lady in advance, remains one of the most well-documented and widely witnessed supernatural events of the 20th century.

The Core Message of Fatima

At the heart of Our Lady of Fatima’s message is a call to conversion, repentance, and peace. She emphasized five key themes:

1. Prayer, Especially the Rosary
   Our Lady repeatedly asked the children to pray the Rosary daily for peace in the world and the conversion of sinners. The Rosary, she said, was a powerful weapon against evil and a source of spiritual strength.

2. Penance and Sacrifice
   She urged the faithful to offer sacrifices for the conversion of sinners and to make reparation for offenses committed against God. The children, especially Francisco and Jacinta, embraced this call with heroic devotion.

3. Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
   Our Lady revealed that God wants devotion to her Immaculate Heart to spread as a path to salvation. This includes acts of consecration and the First Saturdays devotion, which consists of Mass, Confession, the Rosary, and meditation on the mysteries of the Rosary on the first Saturday of five consecutive months.

4. Warning and Hope
   The messages contained prophetic warnings about future events, including the rise of Communism, World War II, and the persecution of the Church. But they were not messages of doom—Our Lady promised that, in the end, “My Immaculate Heart will triumph.”

5. Peace
   Above all, Fatima is a message of peace. Mary offered a way to avert wars and bring healing to the world through prayer, repentance, and devotion to her Immaculate Heart.

The Legacy of Fatima Today

More than a century later, the message of Fatima remains powerfully relevant. In a world still troubled by war, division, and spiritual indifference, the call to prayer and conversion is as timely as ever. Popes, including St. John Paul II—who credited Our Lady of Fatima with saving his life during the 1981 assassination attempt—have promoted her message and consecrated the world to her Immaculate Heart.

The Shrine of Fatima in Portugal continues to draw millions of pilgrims each year, and devotion to Our Lady of Fatima flourishes across the globe. Her message is not just for Catholics, but for all humanity, inviting us to rediscover God’s mercy, seek peace, and entrust ourselves to the maternal care of the Blessed Virgin.

Final Reflection

Our Lady of Fatima’s message is simple, yet profound: a call to live our faith with sincerity, to pray with purpose, and to bring light into a world that often feels lost in darkness. She is a gentle mother, pointing the way to her Son, and inviting all people to find peace through love, sacrifice, and trust in God.

As we remember Fatima, may we respond with open hearts and renewed commitment to live the Gospel with courage and joy.

PSALM 91: A PRAYER OF PROTECTION AND STRENGTH

PSALM 91: A PRAYER OF PROTECTION AND STRENGTH 

Psalm 91 is one of the most powerful chapters in the Bible, offering divine assurance, comfort, and security. It is a declaration of God's unwavering protection over those who seek refuge in Him. Let us begin by reading the full Psalm:

Psalm 91 (NIV)

1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.2 I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.9 If you say, "The Lord is my refuge," and you make the Most High your dwelling,10 no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.14 "Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation."

Finding Strength in Psalm 91

Psalm 91 is more than just words—it is a powerful declaration of faith and trust in God. Whether facing personal struggles, fear, or uncertainty, this psalm reassures us of God’s unwavering presence.

God as Our Refuge and Fortress

The opening verses set the foundation for a life anchored in God’s protection:

"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty." (Psalm 91:1)

This verse calls us to seek God as our refuge. When we abide in Him, we find peace amidst chaos and shelter from life's storms. His presence becomes our sanctuary.

Divine Protection from Harm

Psalm 91 speaks of God’s power to shield His people:

"Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence." (Psalm 91:3)

This verse assures us that God watches over us, keeping us safe from dangers both seen and unseen.

Under His Wings We Find Safety

A beautiful metaphor of God’s care appears in verse 4:

"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart."

Like a loving parent, God covers us with His presence, protecting us from harm and fear.

No Fear in Times of Trouble

Psalm 91 reminds us that we do not need to live in fear:

"You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday." (Psalm 91:5-6)

These verses assure us that God's protection is constant, whether in times of sickness, conflict, or uncertainty.

Angelic Assistance in Our Journey

One of the most comforting promises in Psalm 91 is the assurance of divine help:

"For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways." (Psalm 91:11)

God’s angels are actively working on our behalf, ensuring that we are never alone in our struggles.

God’s Promise of Deliverance and Salvation

The final verses of Psalm 91 contain God’s direct promise to those who love and trust Him:

"Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name." (Psalm 91:14)

"With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation." (Psalm 91:16)

These words affirm that God’s protection leads to deliverance, honor, and eternal security.

Applying Psalm 91 in Daily Life

Psalm 91 is not just a passage to read—it is a call to faith and trust. Here’s how you can apply its message:

Pray Psalm 91 daily to remind yourself of God’s promises.

Memorize key verses to strengthen your faith in difficult moments.

Share its message with those who need encouragement and hope.

Trust in God’s protection, knowing He is always near.

In a world filled with uncertainty, Psalm 91 is a powerful reminder that we are never alone. God is our refuge, our fortress, and our protector. When we put our trust in Him, we can walk in confidence, knowing that His mighty hand covers us through every storm.

Because today is the feast day of The Holy Trinity, I have collected Prayers that I would like to share with you...

Glory be to the Father,
Glory be to the Son,

4. A Morning Prayer to the Trinity

Most holy and adorable Trinity, one God in three Persons, I believe that you are here present; I adore you with the deepest humility, and render to you, with my whole heart, the homage which is due to your sovereign majesty. O my God, I most humbly thank you for all the favors you have bestowed upon me to the present moment. I give you thanks from the depth of my heart that you have created me after your own image and likeness, that you have redeemed me by the precious blood of your dear Son, and that you have preserved me and brought me safe to the beginning of another day. I offer to you, O Lord, my whole being, and in particular all my thoughts, words, actions and sufferings of this day. I consecrate them all to the glory of your name, beseeching you that through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Savior, they may all find acceptance in your sight. May your divine love animate them, and may they all tend to your greater glory. Adorable Jesus, my Savior and Master, model of all perfection, I resolve and will endeavor, this day, to imitate your example, to be, like you, mild, humble, chaste, zealous, charitable and resigned. I will redouble my efforts that I may not fall, this day, into any of those sins which I have heretofore committed (especially), and which I sincerely desire to forsake. O my God, you know my poverty and weakness, and that I am unable to do anything good without you; deny me not, O God, the help of your grace; proportion it to my necessities; give me strength to avoid everything which you forbid, and to practice the good which you have commanded; and enable me to bear patiently all the trials which it may please you to send me. Our Father + Hail Mary.
One may add here the Acts of Faith, Hope, and Love.O holy Virgin, Mother of God, my Mother and Patroness, I place myself under your protection; I throw myself with confidence into the arms of your compassion. Be to me, O Mother of mercy, my refuge in distress, my consolation under suffering, my advocate with thy adorable Son, now and at the hour of my death. Amen.

O faithful Guardian and Father of Virgins, Blessed Joseph, to whom was confided the care of Jesus, and of Mary the Queen of Virgins, I most humbly ask you, by the love with which you bore Jesus and Mary, to obtain for me that, being preserved from every stain during my whole life, I may ever be able to serve them with unspotted purity of mind and body.

Miraculous 3 - Day Novena Prayer To The Holy Spirit

Say this Miraculous Novena 

Prayer in 3 days to receive  

graces and blessings in 

temporal and spiritual 

needs... 

This prayer should be said for 3 consecutive days. After the 3rd day, your sincere wish will be granted no matter how difficult it may be. Promise to offer thanksgiving by sharing it and expressing it on granting of your favour. The idea is to spread the wonder of the Holy Spirit.

Mark 11:22-25: Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. I assure you that whoever tells this hill to get up and throw itself in the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. For this reason I tell you:

When you pray and ask for something, believe that you have received it, and you will be given whatever you ask for. And when you stand and pray, forgive anything you may have against anyone, so that your Father in heaven will forgive the wrongs you have done.”

Holy Spirit, you who makes me see everything and shows me the way to reach my ideal, you who gives me the divine gift to forgive and forget all the wrong that is done to me and you who are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this short dialogue, want to thank you for everything, and affirm once more that I never want to be separated from you no matter how great the material desires may be. I want to be with you and my loved ones in your perpetual glory. To that end and submitting to God’s holy will, I ask from you..(mention your favour). Amen.
