Patron Saint of Haiti
theophilus January 13th, 2010
I know the prayers are flowing for the people of Haiti. Let’s not forget prayers to the patron saint of Haiti – Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke thy most powerful name, which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying. O Purest Mary, O Sweetest Mary, let thy name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, O Blessed Lady, to help me whenever I call on thee, for, in all my needs, in all my temptations I shall never cease to call on thee, ever repeating thy sacred name, Mary, Mary.
O what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence, what emotion fill my soul when I pronounce thy sacred name, or even only think of thee. I thank God for having given thee, for my good, so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely pronouncing thy name: let my love for thee prompt me ever to hail thee, Mother of Perpetual Help.
They are going to be a long time in recovering. Let us give them all of the spiritual and financial support we can.
May they not lose their hope in Christ. May they feel our love. Jesus, Mary, Joseph, be with them.
