2018 - is a very special year! It is 150 years since the Basilica of Mary Help of Christians in Valdocco, Turin was consecrated, in 1868. We shall pray the Novena together this year... as loving children of the Help of Christians, and grow closer to our Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ.
17th May, 2018 - Day 3
Break the sinners' fetters, make our blindness
day; chase from us all evils, for all blessings pray.
“And Mary rising up in
those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda. And she
entered into the house of Zachary and saluted Elizabeth… And Mary abode with
her about three months. And she returned to her own house.” (Luke 1: 39-40, 56)
Certainly, Mary remained until the birth of St. John the Baptist, for she knew that expectant mothers need special care and help. Here, we have a beautiful example of charity. I too promise to always practice charity and acts of mercy.
PRAYER:
O Mary, most powerful
Queen, who alone triumphed over the false doctrines that sought to take away so
many children from the bosom of Holy Mother Church, help me, I beg you, to keep
and preserve my faith firmly and my heart pure amidst the snares and venom of
such harmful errors. Amen
(Remember your Intentions here)
Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.
