I have great affection for the title of Our Lady “Perpetual Help”. At my home parish in St. Paul every Tuesday evening there was the recitation of the Novena of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, followed by Benediction with the Litany of the Heart of Jesus and then confessions. Many came. One got to know all the prayers by heart.
Today is the Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
Here is the lovely collect:
Domine Iesu Christe, qui Genitricem tuam Mariam, cujus insignem veneramur imaginem, Matrem nobis dedisti perpetuo succurrere paratam: concede, quaesumus; ut nos, maternam ejus opem assidue implorantes, redemptionis tuae fructum perpetuo experiri mereamur:…
Anyone want to have a go at it?
They had to get that “redemptio” in there, since the Redemptorists have the image in their church in Rome.
Here’s is Daniel Mitsui’s version.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help, aid my family!
I’m looking to emigrate to the Midwest USA from Canada. My home in Canada is becoming communist. Houses for 1.5 million in ordinary neighborhoods. Our Lady, help my children!
With some help from Google Translate:
“Lord Jesus Christ, who gave us your Mother Mary, whose distinguished image we venerate, a Mother always ready to help: grant, we beseech you; that we, constantly imploring her maternal help, may deserve to perpetually experience the fruit of your redemption”
@BeatifyStickler be careful where in the Midwest you go to. Some of those places are heading in the same direction as Canada – Illinois and Minnesota for example. Maybe consider Oklahoma? The wonderful Benedictines of Clear Creek Abbey are located there.
I would but it would be cheating since I know it by heart!
Never was it known…… Never!
