Our Lady, Help of Christians
Posted by Terry Nelson on May 23rd, 2007
May 24th is the feast of Our Lady Help of Christians. Our Lady was invoked under this title for the victory at Lepanto, while the feast was instituted by Pius VII in thanksgiving for his release from captivity under Napoleon. St. John Bosco held this title of Our Lady in special esteem, and named the Mother Church of the Salesian Order in Turin after her.
The Church, and every Christian in particular, needs the intercession of Our Lady Help of Christians more than ever in these days.
