27 June: Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help

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, Sant’Alfonso.

Here’s is Daniel Mitsui’s fusion version.
