Collection: 📚 Our Lady of Prompt Succor

Our Lady of Prompt Succor is a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary that highlights her swift and powerful intercession for those in urgent need. The devotion began in 1810 in New Orleans, Louisiana, when the Ursuline Sisters prayed to Mary during a fire and later during a battle with the British in the War of 1812. Both times, the city was miraculously spared, and Mary’s help was credited with prompt and effective protection. She is venerated as a compassionate mother who quickly responds to prayers, offering aid, guidance, and protection in times of danger or emergency.

Origin: 1810 (New Orleans, Louisiana) | Feast Day: January 8 | Canonized: Title approved by Pope Pius IX in 1894
