Description
Invoked by this name since the early centuries of Christianity, Mary Help of Christians mercifully protects her children from the forces of evil by the power of her Divine Son and her own queenly power, symbolized by a scepter. Her feast day under this title is May 24th, providentially also the feast day of St. Herman Joseph, a Norbertine canon who, on account of his great devotion, was mystically espoused to the Virgin Mary.
