| FEAST OF O.L.P.H. Today is the Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, the Patroness of the Redemptorist Congregation. Behold at your feet, O Mother of Perpetual
Help! a wretched sinner who has recourse to
you and confides in you.
O Mother of Mercy! have pity on me. I hear
you called by all the refuge and hope of
sinners: be then, my refuge and my hope.
Assist me for the love of Jesus Christ; stretch
forth your hand to a miserable fallen creature
who recommends himself to you, and who devotes
himself to your service forever. I bless
and thank almighty God, who in his mercy
has given me this confidence in you, which
I hold to be a pledge of my eternal salvation.
O Mary, help me. O Mother of Perpetual Help
never allow me to lose my God.
Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be three times
