Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help
Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary that honors her role as a tireless and ever-present intercessor for all who call upon her. Catholics turn to her in times of need, suffering, and desperation, trusting that as the Mother of Christ she holds a unique place of closeness to her Son and intercedes powerfully on behalf of her children. Her name speaks directly to her character — she does not help once or occasionally, but perpetually, without ceasing, for anyone who approaches her with a humble and trusting heart. She is seen as a refuge for the brokenhearted, a comfort for the anxious, and a powerful advocate for those who feel they have nowhere else to turn.
