@welljrny: ❤️ The Our Lady of Perpetual Help Novena is a popular Catholic devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, under the title Our Lady of Perpetual Help—honoring her as a powerful intercessor and source of spiritual help in times of need. 🙏🏽 Who Is Our Lady of Perpetual Help? She is depicted in a famous Byzantine icon (housed at the Church of St. Alphonsus in Rome), where Mary holds the child Jesus, with angels presenting the instruments of His Passion. The icon emphasizes Mary’s role in offering constant, loving help to those who seek it. 🙏🏽 What Is the Novena? The Our Lady of Perpetual Help Novena consists of nine consecutive days (or weeks) of prayer, asking Mary’s intercession for a particular intention. It is structured, often with: - A hymn or introductory prayer - Scripture reflection or meditation - The novena prayer - Petitions for various needs - Marian prayers like the Hail Mary or Memorare - The novena often includes elements of adoration, petition, and thanksgiving. 🙏🏽 When Is It Prayed? Traditionally prayed on Wednesdays, known in many parishes as "Novena Day" to Our Lady of Perpetual Help. You can start the novena on any day and continue for nine days straight. Many churches hold weekly novena services with a priest leading the prayers and sometimes offering Benediction or a short reflection. 🙏🏽 Purpose and Intentions People pray this novena for: 🕊️ Healing (physical, emotional, spiritual) 🕊️ Help with financial difficulties 🕊️ Vocational discernment 🕊️ Strength in family or marriage issues 🕊️ Any urgent or personal need
