Date – Tuesday, June 27th - 2023 – Our Lady of Perpetual Help

The devotion to Our Lady of Perpetual Help originated on the Island of Crete and was popularized by the Redemptorist priests. The iconic image associated with this devotion reflects Byzantine influence and is laden with symbolism.

The painting features a gold background, a characteristic often used in the art of the Eastern Roman Empire. It represents the glory of Our Lady as Queen of Heaven. She is depicted wearing a deep blue mantle, symbolizing her motherhood, while the red tunic beneath represents her virginity. This combination emphasizes her dual role as both Mother and Virgin.

In the painting, Our Lady holds the Child Jesus with great intimacy and affection. The artist portrays her as a mother who intimately knows her Son, and her gaze conveys deep respect and veneration. The Child Jesus, although appearing older than a baby, symbolizes his dependence on his mother through the way his hands are held by hers. This gesture signifies the power of Our Lady's prayer and her ability to guide and protect him.

Two angels in the painting present the instruments of the Passion to the Child Jesus, foreshadowing his future suffering and redemption of humanity. The sandal hanging from the Child's foot by a single string represents the sinner who remains connected to Christ through devotion to Our Lady.

The Greek initials in the painting represent "Mother of God," "St. Michael the Archangel," "St. Gabriel the Archangel," and "Jesus Christ," highlighting the divine significance of the figures depicted.

While the painting may have some artistic imperfections, its true value lies in the symbolism it conveys. It invites contemplation and discovery of its rich layers of meaning.

As devotees of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, we are encouraged to seek her perpetual help and mercy in our lives. She is depicted as the Star of the Sea, guiding us towards Heaven. Through our prayers and devotion to her, we can experience her unflagging mercy and assistance, knowing that she is always there to help us in every situation.

Let us turn to Our Lady of Perpetual Help, entrusting ourselves to her care and intercession, confident in her perpetual help and unwavering love for us.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us!
