Mary Help of Christians

The story of the devotion …

The name Mary Help of Christians is one of the many names by which the Virgin Mary is known and loved in the Catholic Church. This beautiful devotion honors the help that Mary, Mother of God, renders as an intercessor for humanity before God.

The name of Mary Help of Christians has been recognized in the church since at least the 4th century. And her feast day was officially established on May 24 by Pope Pius VII after his return to Rome following his captivity at the hands of Napoleon Bonaparte.

She appeared to St. John Bosco in 1860 and showed him the place where the temple in his honor should be built, this being Turin in Italy. The Saint succeeded in fulfilling the mission in 1868, consecrating the temple on June 9 of that year. Since then, the devotion to Mary Help of Christians has spread widely throughout the church and the world to the joy of all mankind.

Why it’s important …

Mary, as the one chosen by God to be the Mother of Jesus, is considered the intercessor par excellence. Mary, as our Mother, accompanies us in prayer and prays for us when we come to her. Mary offers us her console and protection, She comes to our aid in times of need and leads us with her love to the encounter with God.
